Lauren Jackson will not be playing in Russia. She has changed her plans after the recent murder of the Spartak Moscow owner:
“… In the wake of the assassination of team owner Shabtai von Kalmanovich, Jackson announced Tuesday that she would not return to Spartak Moscow, opting out of a two-year contract. Jackson teamed with Sue Bird and Diani (sic) Taurasi to win the Russian A Super-league with Spartak in 2007 and 2008.
Jackson will instead finish the season with the Canberra Capitals of the Australian Women’s Basketball League…”
