Rodman's agent, Dwight Manley, said he met Wednesday with league officials and representatives of the NBA players union.

"I can only say that talks are under way," Manley told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I cannot give any details whatsoever of the content. But I am encouraged, and I fell very confident that this matter will be resolved amicably."

Rodman was suspended 11 games for kicking courtside camera man Eugene Amos in Minneapolis on Jan. 15. He has missed six games so far.

The players union has said the punishment was too severe and said something should be done to limit courtside cameras and photographers at games.
