Fisher will miss at least the next three games

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks guard Derek Fisher will miss at least the next three games because of a strained right patellar tendon.

Fisher will miss tonight''s home game against the Miami Heat, and will also sit out Friday's game in Memphis and Sunday's contest in San Antonio. Mavs offcials said there is no timetable set for Fisher's return, and he'll be re-evaluated next week.

Fisher suffered the injury midway through the first quarter of this past Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
