Lauren Jackson's basketball return continues to grow legs with the 41-year-old set to play for the Southside Flyers in the WNBL following this year's World Cup.
The three-time WNBA Most Valuable Player and Hall of Famer thought her career was over when chronic injuries and pain forced her to retire midway through the 2016 WNBL season with Canberra.
But the mother and four-time Olympian has enjoyed an incredible resurgence, forcing her way into Australia's World Cup squad after dominating in the second-tier NBL1 with Albury-Wodonga.
She has spoken openly about the fact that medicinal cannabis helped her get back onto the court.
Such was her form in the NBL1, Jackson earned a spot in the Australian Opals squad for next month's World Cup in Sydney.
The WNBL season begins in November, with the World Cup from September 22 Jackson's immediate focus.
Australia, ranked number three in the world, will play pool games against France, Serbia, Nigeria, Japan and Canada.
