WNBL legend Lauren Jackson has made an emotional homecoming to Canberra to help guide the Southside Flyers to an emphatic 92-72 victory over the UC Capitals - the club where she won four championships and four grand final MVPs as their marquee player.

With a large crowd filling Canberra's National Convention Centre to mark Jackson's return to the nation's capital, the 41-year-old opened proceedings with a three-pointer before going on to add 13 points and five rebounds as the Flyers recorded their fifth win of the season.
