News and Notes

May 9
Fisher started for the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals Friday night, exactly one year after his cross-country flight and dramatic entrance in the third quarter of Utah's overtime win over Golden State. He was the last Laker introduced and the steady chorus of boos didn't let up. Advice: It was his third game in Utah since asking to be released from his contract last summer to move to a city where his daughter, Tatum, could receive a specific treatment for a cancerous tumor in her eye. The first was in November when Jazz fans surprised him by welcoming him back with boos. Jazz fans dislike the Lakers more than any other team and felt slighted when Fisher ended up with his former team after being released from his contract in Utah. |
