The Dallas Mavericks on Saturday agreed to release Derek Fisher at the 38-
year-old's request.
The team and Fisher are parting company by mutual consent, team sources told
ESPN.

The move has actually been in the works for a few days, sources said, but
the Mavericks asked Fisher to stay with the team until another point guard
could be secured. Fisher consented to stay on and played Tuesday night
against Philadelphia, only to suffer a strained patellar tendon in his right
knee early in the Mavs' home win.
In a statement he issued Saturday night to confirm the move, Fisher said: "
In Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, I suffered an injury to my patellar
tendon. The recovery time will be approximately two weeks. With this news
and the difficulty I have been having being away from my family, I have
asked the organization to waive me so I can return home.
"(Mavericks owner) Mark Cuban has been extremely supportive and has granted
me this request. I cannot say enough good things about this organization.
From Mark, to Coach (Rick) Carlisle, to the players on the Mavericks' team,
I sincerely thank them for the opportunity.
"I have made decisions in the past, leaving money and opportunity on the
table, and I will need to do that again. My family is my priority and that
is where I choose to be. I won't close the possibility that I will play
again, however for now my family and being close to them remains the
priority."
The Mavericks, sources said, will be calling up Chris Douglas-Roberts from
the Frisco-based Texas Legends to replace Fisher. Widely rated as the top
current NBA prospect in the D-League, Douglas-Roberts is scheduled to play
for the Legends in Saturday night's home game against Iowa before joining
the Mavericks on Sunday in San Antonio.
In nine games as a Maverick after signing Nov. 29, Fisher averaged 8.6
points and 3.6 assists in just over 25 minutes per game.
The Mavericks are eager to see if Douglas-Roberts can give them the
backcourt scoring and penetration they've been seeking after his time in the
NBA's developmental league, but sources said that Dallas is likewise
expected to continue exploring potential trade options to strengthen its
point guard position, which has been a problem all season.
After the November release of Delonte West, projected starter Darren
Collison has been in and out of favor, prompting Dallas to bring in Fisher.
Inconsistent youngsters Dominique Jones and Rodrigue Beaubois are the Mavs'
other current options at the point.
