Lakers' Derek Fisher Continues His Journey

 
In the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Mark Heisler writes "a year ago, Derek Fisher's life changed, or would have if it ever did, which it never really has. A year ago to the day, Fisher made his dramatic return from New York City, where his 10-month-old daughter had undergone eye surgery that morning to face his former teammates, the Golden State Warriors, in a playoff game. Tonight on the same court, Fisher will make yet another return against another set of former teammates, the Jazz, in another playoff game.” [link]
