Rickea Jackson, who was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks with the No. 4 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, has signed a new shoe deal that makes her a company first.
The Los Angeles Sparks' No. 4 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has signed a deal with Sketchers, making her the first WNBA athlete in the brand's history.Last NBA season, the company signed Joel Embiid for his MVP campaign with the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks All-Star Julius Randle, and Los Angeles Clippers standout Terance Mann.
Jackson was a star for the Tennessee Volunteers, earning two First-Team All-SEC nods to end her career. Averaging over 20 points per game in her final year, Jackson was viewed as one of the most prolific scorers in the draft class. Her rookie season got off to a slow start, but Jackson has the talent and charisma to become a star in the Los Angeles market.May 20, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Sparks Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson throw out the first pitch prior to the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. / Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
