Derek Fisher has said that he is undecided over his future following the Oklahoma City Thunder's exit from the playoffs.

The veteran guard had suggested that this year would be his final playing season ahead of the start of the campaign, and he has been linked with the coaching vacancy at the New York Knicks.

The 39-year-old told reporters: "It's not that many hours since postgame at this point. I'm still struggling with the results of last night. I haven't got a chance to talk to my wife and kind of step back emotionally from the end of the season.

"That's important to do, so that whatever is next, there has to be a separation from the end of the season and what just happened and then I can go from there. There's for sure huge layers added to [the decision]. The personal relationship and professional relationship that I've had with [Knicks president] Phil Jackson over the years, and being in the position that he's in.

"And also, with the Lakers having an opening, it for sure adds layers to it. But like other important decisions in life, I don't think you can be driven by what's going on externally. You have to have an internal set of boundaries and just kind of a compass that you make decisions by. I'll combine all those things as I try and make the best decision possible."

Fisher averaged 5.2 points per game during the 2013-14 season.
