Jackson and Griner previously had a heated moment during the LA Sparks' matchup against the Phoenix Mercury in September.
The altercation started with the duo exchanging words during the game. However, it quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with Griner and Jackson both squaring up, ultimately resulting in their ejection.
A day after the contest, Griner addressed the fight and said it was part of the game while dismissing any claims of personal vendettas:
"It's basketball," Griner said. "Stuff gets heated. Like, there's nothing personal. I like Rickea. I like her game. So, no hard feelings or anything like that. It's part of the game, though."
In the current WNBA offseason, Rickea and Brittney are both participating in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled 3x3 league.
