Lauren Jackson capped her storied international basketball career with another bronze medal scoring 30 points to lead Australia to a 95-65 win over Canada on Saturday in the third-place game at the women's World Cup.
Jackson came back to the Opals after retiring in 2016 because of injuries. Jackson said on social media Saturday that this would be her final game for Australia and that she was "lucky to have this opportunity to represent Australia and also say goodbye.
I didn't get that chance all those years ago." She played in 43 World Cup games in her career, matching Brazil's Janeth Arcain for most all-time.
The 41-year-old Jackson won three bronze medals and led the Opals to their lone gold in 2006. Australia (6-2) was coming off a disappointing last-minute loss to China in the medal round.
