It was a slow start to the year for Rickea Jackson, but her recent play has the Sparks playing their best basketball in years.

Entering this season, the expectations were high for Rickea Jackson.

She was coming off a season where she earned All-Rookie honors and started in 35 games for the Sparks. After a strong showing in Unrivaled, the expectation was that she’d build on that momentum and be even better in 2025.

Unfortunately, progress isn’t always linear.
