The game between the Los Angeles Sparks (17-18) and the Phoenix Mercury (22-14) was already heating up in the fourth quarter, with the Mercury leading 76-60, when another concerning update shook Sparks fans. WNBA insider Underdog WNBA reported on X, “Rickea Jackson (ankle) headed to locker room Tuesday.”
The incident happened when Rickea’s left ankle appeared to make contact with Satou Sabally, and she was clearly in pain right after. For a moment, it looked serious, leaving Sparks fans worried about the rookie forward’s condition. Luckily, Rickea managed to walk off the court on her own without any assistance, which was a positive sign. While the Sparks were still battling to close the gap on the scoreboard, her injury added another layer of concern to an already tense matchup.
