"The victim is pleading with the Court and the State to conclude this matter promptly without hindering the efficacy of the prosecution's case."

Pearce is facing several felony charges, including two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking and fleeing or eluding police.

Pearce later crashed his vehicle and was accused of resisting arrest.

Pearce's attorneys say the Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate "maintains his innocence and urges the public to understand that while allegations have the power to shape a narrative, that it is hardly the full, complete story."

"We look forward to vigorously defending our client and remain confident that he will continue contributing positively to both his team and the community he serves so well," the attorneys added.

Jackson, a member of the Los Angeles Sparks, finished ninth in MVP voting for the 2025 season after averaging 14.7 points, a new career-high.
