The accident occurred just after 3 a.m. on Sunday. Officials responded to the scene and assisted Fisher and Govan out of the vehicle. After, Fisher was given a DUI evaluation.
“During the collision investigation, it was discovered that Party #1 [Fisher] had been drinking. A DUI evaluation was conducted and Party #1 was subsequently arrested for DUI without incident,” according to the report of collision documents.
Fisher played in the NBA for 20 years, 13 of which were with the Los Angeles Lakers. After his retirement, he was hired to be the Knick’s head coach in June 2014. His former coach Phil Jackson fired him last February.
