Storm All-Star Lauren Jackson went immediately to the training table after her team's 73-72 Game 3 Western Conference semi-final loss at Target Center on Tuesday. She received a cortisone injection to relieve a hamstring injury during the WNBA season. But after the game against Minnesota, a distraught Jackson said she may need to undergo surgery for other ailments.
"I've got to go home and get checked out," said Jackson of returning to her native Australia. She's expected to play for the Canberra Capitals this offseason. "I've got my hamstring and my back and stuff and Achilles. So I've got to go get some stuff figured out.
"The thing is, in Australia, I've got the best people around me to really help me get back to where I was in 2010. That's a bonus for me. It's just one of those things where I've got to make sure everything is right before I keep going."
In 2010, Jackson won the regular-season and postseason WNBA MVP awards. She averaged 20.5 points and 8.3 rebounds in 32 games. Jackson has only played one full WNBA season (2005) in her 12-year career.
The 6 feet 6 center needed left hip flexor surgery in 2011, missing 20 games as she rehabilitated the injury. She finished rehabilitation in Spain, helping her team win a EuroLeague title. Jackson went on to train and play in the London Olympic games for the Opals, winning a bronze medal. But she suffered an ankle injury before the Games.
