Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Three-time WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson will miss a third consecutive season after undergoing another knee surgery, the Seattle Storm said Tuesday.
"Lauren's health and recovery remains the top priority as we continue the dialogue regarding her future in Seattle," Storm general manager Alisha Valavanis said in a statement. "We know at this time Lauren will not compete in the 2015 WNBA season. We continue to wish Lauren all the best as she recovers and begins rehab."
