LJ Out For 5 Games In '08

According to the Daily Telegraph, Lauren Jackson will be out for five games this season so she can prep for the Olympics:

Jackson will skip part of the WNBA season to join the world champion Australian Opals in their Olympic preparations.

She will stand down from five games with her WNBA club, the Seattle Storm, in July. Jackson is widely regarded as the world's best female basketballer and there had been months of speculation about her preparations for Beijing.

Rumor was that her Australian Olympic commitments might prevent her from playing in Seattle at all in 2008, so this is great news.
