Jackson was recently offered another contract to play in Russia, but on Tuesday declined the offer.

Last spring, Seattle Storm forward Lauren Jackson signed a contract – reportedly worth $220,000, roughly two times more than her salary with the Storm – to play in a best-of-five championship series for UMMC-Ekaterinburg, a premier Russian club team.

If she had gone, the WNBA’s leading scorer last season – who is entering her fourth season with the Storm – would have left on March 20 and probably returned late to training camp, which begins April 25. Last year the 2003 WNBA MVP – who has never been to camp on time – was four days late.



But Lauren doesn't rule a Russian Return out: Arrow
