Lynx star Augustus says she'll be ready for season

Feb 9, 2010 - 9:51 PM MINNEAPOLIS(AP) -- Minnesota Lynx star Seimone Augustus is on track to start the WNBA season.

Augustus said Tuesday she has a week and a half left on her rehabilitation program, following surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee last summer. The two-time All-Star was at a news conference to discuss the four-year contract she signed with the team.

Augustus says she'll be ready for the beginning of training camp in late April.

She was a restricted free agent. She says returning to the Lynx was a "no-brainer" decision.

Augustus will join Lindsay Whalen and Candice Wiggins in a prolific backcourt this season. Augustus is currently the WNBA's all-time leader at 21.2 points per game for her career.
