It might have been a regular weekend for many WNBA fans, but the concerning news on Sunday morning struck fear. Rickea Jackson’s NFL boyfriend, James Pearce Jr., was arrested after ramming a Lamborghini into the WNBA star’s vehicle.
While the player is playing her part in the Breeze BC’s quest for the unrivalled championship, the incident must have impacted her health, as she recently recovered from the injury sustained in the 3-on-3 league.

As per reports, the NFL star allegedly stalked his ex from his car and tried to get into her car at an intersection. As she sped away, he continued to follow her to stop her from calling the police.

Even though her off-court incident is disturbing, on the court, the player is once again proving her worth on the floor. The Sparks team would be happy with her performances in the Unrivaled league and would look for improvement in one aspect to help the side be more competitive.
LA Sparks Could Benefit From a Small Improvement In Rickea Jackson’s Gameplay
The 24-year-old star had been an explosive scorer right from her high school days. Her Detroit Edison Public School Academy retired her jersey in a historic ceremony. Playing for the Sparks and now with the Breeze BC, the star showed her efficiency and productivity.

But the Sparks would benefit more from improvement in her defensive game. The 3-on-3 league is the perfect place to improve in that area, as the games demand strong defensive play to control the proceedings.
Everyone would hope to see Jackson back on the floor and to forget about the Saturday incident, focusing more on her career.
