    The Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury are set to face off in a regular-season clash on Friday night.

    Sparks rookie Rickea Jackson is in the starting lineup for this matchup as Los Angeles deals with a slew of injury issues.

    Jackson arrived at Phoenix's Footprint Center in style. The No. 4 overall pick's pregame outfit is all over social media before tipoff.

    "She's glowing," the Sparks wrote on X.

    Through 17 games and 12 starts in her rookie season, Jackson is averaging 9.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. With the ACL injury suffered by Cameron Brink earlier this month, all of the rookie attention turns toward Jackson moving forward.

    Jackson, a former college superstar for the Tennessee Volunteers, notched the best game of her young WNBA career when she recorded a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Minnesota Lynx on June 14.

    The Sparks could certainly use some of that production as they look to snap their current six-game losing streak.

    Friday night's Sparks-Mercury game will tipoff at 10 p.m. ET.
