ESPN's John Hollinger has good insight into Derek Fisher's crazy day yesterday, with lots of new insight into his daughter Tatum's retinoblastoma:

Her treatment on Wedesday was a procedure performed by French doctor Pierre Gobin at New York Presbyterian Hospital's Cornell Medical Center. The doctor treated the tumor in Tatum's left eye locally to shrink the tumor, with the hope being that the tumor eventually shrinks enough to allow it to be removed surgically without losing the entire eye.

Fisher stressed that Tatum isn't completely out of the woods yet. Some time in the next three to four weeks, she'll return to New York for a follow-up visit, where they will either repeat the procedure to shrink the tumor further, or attempt to remove it if it has become small enough. Fisher said it can be done up to three times, and that there is still a risk of losing the eye. He added that these doctors have done the treatment nine times and succeeded in eight.

But once his daughter emerged from the surgery on Wednesday and was cleared to return home with the family, he figured he might as well give playing in Game 2 a try. "It's what I do," said Fisher. "It's not who I am, but it's what I do."

Fisher hadn't shot a basketball since the Houston series, and hadn't prepared in any way for Golden State. Jerry Sloan was a little hesitant to stick him on the active list -- he was worried someone might get hurt -- but says that Fisher was enthusiastic enough to convince him.
