Derek Fisher says he willingly surrendered the three years and $21,000,000 million remaining on his Utah contract so his daughter could receive the medical care she needed “We’re going to have to live in a city… That has the hospitals… And the medical care… That my daughter needs… Regardless of basketball.” “We were working on a short clock. At that time… We didn’t know if my daughter would make it… Depending on surgeries… And chemotherapy…” “We’re moving back to L.A. It didn’t matter whether I was playing basketball or not.” “I had three years… $21 million remaining on my contract. Y’all can have all of that money back. The money is not really the issue here. It’s more about the city… And the care.” “They kept the money… But I and my family… We had the freedom of choice.” “That’s really power and wealth… The freedom of the choice… Not the money.” “The basketball future… Was all up in the air. The original decision was… We’re moving back to L.A. Period. Point blank. And then we’ll figure the rest out from there.”
