Impact Sabally seemingly couldn't miss Wednesday evening, blowing past her previous career-high of 16 points while hitting multiple clutch shots down the stretch to help seal the win for Toronto. She did appear to tweak her right ankle during the second half, but after getting it re-taped on the sidelines, she returned without needing a trip to the locker room. After the game, Sabally said she was fine and expects to play Saturday versus the Storm.

Impact It was recently reported that Sabally wouldn't suit up Saturday, though she's now officially been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a neck strain. However, the 26-year-old forward is unlikely to see a full workload.

Impact Sabally was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Mercury after she was initially listed as probable, and it appears as though she'll be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Thursday.

Impact Sabally led both teams in rebounds Friday and finished as the Tempo's third-leading scorer behind Brittney Sykes (27 points) and Laura Juskaite (16 points).

Impact Sabally co-led the Tempo with three steals, and espite the low point total, she also finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Marina Mabrey (27 points) and Brittney Sykes (14 points). Sabally mostly came off the bench during her first three years in the WNBA with the Liberty, but she looks to be a regular starter with the Tempo and figures to see career numbers across the board.
