Jackson to have surgery
A statement released by the Australia Olympic Committee said Jackson has an impingement at the front of her right ankle joint. She has required repeated injections to compete in Beijing and will have arthroscopic surgery in Sydney next week.
The Australians are scheduled to play China in the Olympic semifinals on Thursday night.
The surgery likely will force Jackson to miss the rest of the WNBA regular season with the Seattle Storm.
