The California Highway Patrol says neither Fisher nor his passenger, former « Basketball Wives » reality star Gloria Govan, were injured in the crash early Sunday.
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. — Authorities say former Los Angeles Lakers player and ex- New York Knicks head coach Derek Fisher has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he flipped his vehicle on a California highway.
The California Highway Patrol says neither Fisher nor his passenger, former « Basketball Wives » reality star Gloria Govan, were injured in the crash early Sunday.
Authorities say Fisher was driving on U. S. 101 in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles when his 2015 Cadillac veered onto the right shoulder while approaching an interchange.
The car hit the shoulder’s concrete curb and guardrail, overturned and came to a rest on its roof.
The Highway Patrol says officers discovered that Fisher had been drinking and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Govan’s ex-husband is Golden State Warriors forward Matt Barnes. Fisher and Barnes feuded in 2015 in part because of Fisher’s relationship with Govan.
When reached by ESPN, Barnes said he would have no comment.
ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
