LAUREN JACKSON WINS TOP HONORS AGAIN

After averaging 23.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game and leading Seattle to a 2-1 record last week, Lauren Jackson received player of the week honors for the ninth time in her career and the second time this season.

Jackson’s teammates are also lighting up the court. Betty Lennox posted nine points, 10 rebounds and six assists against New York last Sunday while Sue Bird reached her 1,000th career assist in the first quarter of the New York game.
