Matt Barnes ex-wife Gloria Govan Is NOT The Reason Derek Fisher Got FIRED, according to the former Basketball Wives star!!!
Find out what Gloria Govan is saying about her man Derek Fisher on the flip…
It appears that someone is thirsty for her 15-minutes because Gloria Govan is weighing in on why she feels that she isn’t the reason Phil Jackson fired Derek Fisher from the Knicks, CelebNSports247.com has learned!
Gloria Govan said Tuesday to HipHollywood at the red carpet premiere of “Meet the Blacks”:
“I don’t think so. I don’t think so at all …I mean, I hope not, better not be.”
Govan went on to say, while trying to clarify that the Knicks simply made a basketball business decision, and it had nothing to do with the controversy surrounding their courtship.
“Honestly, he called me the morning when he did get let go and he was like it [the conversation with Jackson] was short and it was simple.”
“You know, I feel like he had a feeling because they were on a five-game losing streak. And it’s really just a business. I think people forget, it’s not anything personal. Him and Phil are still friends.”
We previously told you that Fisher was let go in early February after less than two seasons with the club. In addition, CelebNMusic247.com previously reported that Derek’s relationship with Govan became an NBA scandal after her estranged husband, Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes, drove 95 miles to confront Fisher and start a physical altercation.
The two NBA players have been beefing since, while Gloria Govan, who was known to fight on BBWs are focusing on their relationship and raising her twin sons, Carter and Isaiah, amid the drama.

She adds:
“It takes a lot of patience, and again, I really have to pull a lot of my strength from my relationship with God. It really takes a lot.”
“Every time I look at them [her boys], I never want to be responsible for them not having a relationship with their dad … because that has nothing to do with me. And I could easily make it about me, but I don’t have time for that.
“Derek is really supportive, him and the kids get a long really well. He obviously helps with that entire situation.”
On Barnes adapting to their modern family, Govan said:
“He’s like the caboose, he’ll come on board eventually.”
Does this mean that Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan may tie the knot soon?
The 41-year-old replied:
“No time soon…We’re in no hurry. We’re enjoying where we are right now.”
