Gabriela Jaquez, Sky teammate Rickea Jackson link for viral TikTok dance

Since being selected by the Chicago Sky with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft , former UCLA women’s basketball star Gabriela Jaquez has been living her best life. Jaquez, who is fresh off a national championship win and her big draft night, is getting familiar with her new city after spending her entire life in California.

Jaquez was born in Irvine, California, went to high school in Camarilla, California, and played college basketball for five years in Los Angeles. Now, she’s calling the Windy City home and is already enjoying the views.

Jackson was traded from the LA Sparks to Chicago ahead of the draft. The new teammates were sightseeing in their new city and made sure to stop by the iconic Skydeck in Willis Tower for a little dance to “Float My Boat” by Lazy Jay. That’s one way to build team chemistry.

While the Sky traded away star forward Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks, they have been busy rebuilding the roster with some veteran talent. Along with Jackson, the Sky added DiJonai Carrington, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and veteran Skylar Diggins.
