Former Los Angeles Lakers player, Derek Fisher, has found himself in significant legal trouble after allegedly hitting his girlfriend during a heated argument at his home in Los Angeles. The incident, which reportedly occurred late last night, has shocked fans and the basketball community alike.
According to police reports, neighbors called 911 after hearing shouting and loud noises coming from Fisher’s residence. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Fisher’s girlfriend visibly shaken and with visible signs of physical injury. She told officers that Fisher had become enraged during an argument and struck her multiple times.
Fisher, a retired NBA star known for his tenure with the Lakers, has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident. However, his attorney has indicated that he plans to vigorously defend himself against the allegations.
The news of Fisher’s alleged violence against his girlfriend has sparked outrage and concern among fans and advocates against domestic violence. Many are calling for Fisher to be held accountable if the allegations are proven true.
This incident is not the first time that Fisher has faced legal troubles. In 2015, he was involved in a highly publicized incident where he was arrested on suspicion of DUI after crashing his car on the freeway. He later pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher.
The Lakers organization, where Fisher spent the majority of his playing career and later served as head coach, has not yet commented on the situation. However, they have a history of taking allegations of domestic violence seriously and have previously taken action against players and staff accused of such behavior.
As the legal process unfolds, Fisher’s future remains uncertain. If convicted, he could face significant legal consequences, including jail time and fines.
