"It's a necessary thing at this point," Fisher said. "It's not a problem for me in terms of physically being able to do what's necessary for us to win."
With the Lakers having a 14-man roster, leaving them with a spot open, Jackson hasn't ruled out the team adding another point guard.
The Phoenix Suns held an open workout with six guards before signing Dee Brown.
"We'll probably bring somebody in in the next week or so and take a look at some people," Jackson said.
The Lakers also could look into making a trade. But nothing is imminent, despite a report that the Milwaukee Bucks have a deal on the table with the Lakers to send point guard Tyronn Lue to the Lakers for Chris Mihm.
However, Lue's agent, Andy Miller, has called the Lakers about his client.

Sun spotting?
Sun Yue has appeared in one game this season, playing five minutes.
There is a chance he could eventually play for the Lakers' NBA D-League D-Fenders team.
He has been on the active list because of Farmar's injury.
"I hope he gets an opportunity," Jackson said about Sun. "We want to see him out there on the floor again. Right now games have been close and critical and we haven't had an opportunity to play him. He can help us."
