Pro career

Fischer began his professional career in 2004 with the Spanish second division club Pamesa Castellón. He then joined the ACB club Pamesa Valencia later in 2004 for one month, before returning to Castellón. He then spent the next two seasons with second division clubs CAI Zaragoza and Farho Gijón before moving to ACB powerhouse Real Madrid for the second half of 2006.

He then spent half a season with Polaris World Murcia before moving to Etosa Alicante where they were relegated from the ACB at the end of 2007. Fisher remained for one more year with Alicante and then returned to the ACB where he spent two seasons with CB Gran Canaria until 2010, when he signed for Bizkaia Bilbao Basket. His spell in Bilbao lasted 3 games and then moved back to Real Madrid on a 3-month contract to replace the injured Pablo Prigioni,[2] but returned to Bilbao until the end of the 2010-11 season, after his contract with Real Madrid expired.[3]
