Fisher used to play for a few years on the Jazz until his daughter's eye cancer or disease ended up becoming too severe so he moved back to LA to use the better hospitals there.
He asked to be released from his contract so that he would always be in LA near his family and then signed with the Lakers 2 weeks later. His daughter I think ended up loosing the eye while Jazz fans got upset at him signing with the Lakers so quickly after leaving the Jazz. Fisher was hinting of taking a lot of time off to spend with his daughter and maybe missing the season at the time.
