Utah Jazz guard Derek Fisher showed up at halftime of Game 5 of the Western Conference finals, too late to save his team's season.
He had spent the afternoon in New York, to be with his 10-month-old daughter as she underwent chemotherapy treatments for eye cancer.
But the way fellow guard Deron Williams sees it, Utah's pitiful performance in the Spurs' 109-84 series-clinching victory Wednesday had less to do with which Jazz players showed up late and more to do with those who failed to show up at all.
"There were some guys that were already on vacation," Williams said. "Point blank. On vacation. A long time ago."
Williams declined to name names.
