Rickea Jackson is not just a talent on the basketball court. The LA Sparks player's name has made rounds among the fans for her good looks and esteemed sense of fashion. It was only a matter of time before fans and paparazzi started taking an interest in her romantic life.
Recently, Jackson was rumored to be in a romantic relationship with Western Illinois Leathernecks' defensive back Jordan Anderson. However, the WNBA player took to her social media to put an end to the rumors on Monday.
Jackson posted a picture hugging Anderson on her Instagram story. In the next IG story, she made it clear that Anderson was not her boyfriend.
This is not the first time that Jackson had to put an end to the discussion about her romantic life. In October when a fan had said that she already had a man in her life, she made it clear that she was single.
While Rickea Jackson is enjoying her first WNBA offseason, he has another task coming up in January. She will be part of the Unrivaled league that will feature some of the best WNBA players playing 3X3 basketball. The league features players like Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Angel Reese.
Rickea Jackson hilariously considers taking WNBA coaching job after multiple teams fire coaches
October could very well be remembered as the "WNBA coach firing month." Last month the league saw teams firing their head coaches and their general managers at an unprecedented rate.
Within 30 days, seven teams, including some who had made the playoffs this season, lost their coaches. The Indiana Fever, Chicago Sky, Washington Mystics, Atlanta Dream, Dallas Wings and LA Sparks fired their coaches. Connecticut's Stephanie White stepped down last week before taking the vacant Indiana job.
The firing of the coaches was unusual, even for a player like Rickea Jackson. Watching so many coaching spots open in the league, the LA Sparks player made a hilarious post on her X, formerly known as Twitter.
In her post, Rickea Jackson hilariously wrote that she and her teammate Azurá Stevens were ready to apply for the coaching jobs.
"Me and Azurá bouta apply for one of them jobs 😏," she wrote.
The Sparks ended the 2024 season at 8-32, the worst record in the franchise's history. Right after the season, the team parted ways with Curt Miller.
