Sparks Star's Five-Word Message To Rickea Jackson After Huge Career Move

Rickea Jackson is making moves. The Los Angeles Sparks rookie has flown under the radar a bit, but she's been just as impressive as her peers. Recently, Jackson has made a big move for her career.

On Thursday, it was revealed that Rickea Jackson signed with Skechers. That made her the first WNBA player to sign with the brand. In a statement, the Sparks rookie expressed her enthusiasm for this opportunity.

"Being the first WNBA player to join the Skechers roster is an incredible feeling," Jackson told Sneaker Game. "The brand is a rising star in the sports world."

Other notable athletes signed to Skechers are New York Knicks forward Julius Randle, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, and Los Angeles Clippers guard Terrence Mann.

Sparks teammate Dearica Hamby took to X to show love for her rookie.

Jackson, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is averaging 11 points per game and 3.8 rebounds per game. The Sparks rookie has proven to be a key piece in the Sparks' rebuild this season.

Jackson and the Sparks will resume action in about a month, with the WNBA taking a break to accommodate for the Olympics.
