Fitch Dismisses Idea of Stressful Job

After undergoing an emergency triple bypass last August, Clipper Coach Bill Fitch was told to change his diet and get more exercise.

But is coaching the Clippers too much stress for Fitch, 62?

“Stress is something I really don’t know the definition of,” Fitch said.

Rookie swingman Lorenzen Wright, the Clippers’ top draft pick, has recovered from surgery to insert a screw into his right foot.

“I haven’t had any problems with it,” said Wright, who broke a bone in his foot while jogging at the NBA predraft camp last June. “It’s all healed. I’ve just got to get the muscles used to running back up and down [the basketball court].”

The injury hampered Wright’s training program.
