No LJ, No LJ, Yay LJ!, No LJ, No LJ
Storm coach Brian Agler decided that the Storm's visit to the White House was a good time to announce that Lauren Jackson is going to have surgery on her hip and miss most (if not all) of the rest of the season. (Some of the players didn't even know!)
I went to my first Storm game in 2008. Lauren Jackson was amazing in that game, and made a huge impression on me. That ended up being one of the last games she played in 2008, because she left early to go prepare for the Olympics, played in the Olympics, injured her ankle, and missed the rest of the season because of that injury.
In 2009 she played for a while before injuring her back and missing the rest of the season.
In 2010, well.... I think you know!
Now, in 2011, she's going to miss the next 8-12 weeks.
In 2012, she's going to skip the first half of the season to prepare for the Olympics.
This stinks!
The only good news is that Le'Coe Willingham is a much better player than any they had to replace her in 2008 and 2009.
