-Video: Fisher speaks about daughter's cancer

Utah Jazz guard Derek Fisher's daughter had a tumor between her eye and her brain removed Wednesday morning. His infant daughter's illness is the reason Fisher missed Game One of the NBA Western Conference semifinals Monday night.

Fisher entered Game 2 with just over 3 minutes to play in the third quarter Wednesday night. He arrived in Utah from New York during the game. The home crowd gave him an extended standing ovation as he walked out of the locker room and onto the floor.

Fisher helped the Jazz win Game Two in overtime, 127-117.

After the game, Fisher announced that his daughter had "successful" surgery in New York early Wednesday morning.
