MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian basketball great Lauren Jackson is set to rejoin the national team at the age of 41 in a bid for another world championship medal. The seven-time WNBA All-Star led Australia to a world championship title in 2006 and won four Olympic medals before she retired in 2016. A women's World Cup on home soil in September has lured her back into the international arena. Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper quoted the 6-foot-5 Jackson saying she will join the Opals in camp next week in Canberra. Basketball Australia confirmed Jackson's comeback on social media.
