Fisher leaves Jazz to focus on daughter's cancer treatment
Associated Press
Updated: July 2, 2007, 10:28 PM ET
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz agreed to release guard Derek Fisher from his
contract Monday so he can concentrate on finding the best care for his
11-month-old daughter, who has cancer in her left eye.
Fisher said he wants to live in one of the six or seven cities being
considered for Tatum's care.
He didn't rule out playing for another NBA team but emphasized that his
daughter's health is his No. 1 priority.
"Life for me outweighs the game of basketball," Fisher told reporters after
flying from New York to meet with Jazz owner Larry H. Miller and other team
executives.
"When it comes to decisions related to them," he said of his family, "I do
what's best."
The Jazz acquired Fisher a year ago in a trade with the Golden State Warriors.
During eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was part of three NBA
championships -- experience that Utah's young team craved.
In May, his daughter was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a cancerous tumor in
her left eye. The danger is that it could spread to her brain or the rest of
her body.
Fisher at times fought exhaustion trying to balance basketball and his
daughter's welfare. He spent a day at a New York hospital in May, then flew
to Utah for a Western Conference semifinal game against Golden State.
Only 350 cases of retinoblastoma are diagnosed each year in North America,
according to Dr. A. Linn Murphree, director of the retinoblastoma program at
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, who is not involved in the Fisher case.
In most cases, patients lose the eye rather than undergo chemotherapy, but
there are exceptions.
After the news conference, Fisher and wife Candace were flying to New York
for another medical appointment Tuesday.
"Outwardly she's doing great. Her spirits are good," Fisher said of Tatum.
He said his desire to leave Utah does not mean that medical care here is
weak. Rather, Fisher said he and his wife need a place that has the "right
combination" of specialists.
He declined to identify the cities under consideration. Many NBA players work
apart from their families, but it's not an option for him. He and Candace
have four children.
"For me and my family, we just don't believe in it. ... I don't think I could
be the player I could be if I had to carry that load," Fisher said.
Wiping away tears, Miller said Fisher "leaves a legacy" of leadership and
toughness for Utah's young players.
"He's focused on the most important thing," the owner said of Fisher's
request to leave the Jazz.
Fisher doesn't want to retire but acknowledged it's a possibility.
"I'll be 33 in August. I'm 6-1. I averaged 10 points this year," he said.
"I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do."
