Why is Rickea Jackson not playing for LA Sparks?
Rickea Jackson has missed more games than she’s played to start the 2025 WNBA season with the LA Sparks. The star forward was sidelined for three games due to concussion protocol and upon returning, she lost her spot in the starting lineup.
After playing in just one game following her return, Jackson has now missed two more consecutive games, including Sunday’s matchup against the Phoenix Mercury. Her most recent absences have been attributed to personal reasons and there is currently no clear timeline for her return. Head coach Lynne Roberts has stated that the team will gladly welcome Jackson back whenever she’s ready.
As for her performance this season, the former No. 4 overall pick has struggled to find her rhythm. Limited availability has made it even more challenging, as she’s averaging just 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds across three games while shooting only 31.0% from the field.
