The highly anticipated matchup between the Dream and Fever now has another layer with Lennox’s performance. The 34-year-old artist, who performed at One Musicfest in October, recently released a new single “Soft Girl Era” following her reported departure from longtime label Dreamville Records.

The Dream, which during the offseason moved Thursday’s game to State Farm Arena to account for the demand, teased that tickets to Thursday night’s game would be limited.

The matchup between the Dream and Fever tips off at 7:30 p.m.
