Unlikely to play Thursday Sabally (neck) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lynx, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reports.

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. Laura Juskaite, Teonni Key and Nikolina Milic are candidates to see increased work against Minnesota.

Downgraded to out Sabally (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.

Impact After being listed as probable for Tuesday, Sabally has been surprisingly downgraded to out with a neck injury. Thursday's tilt versus the Lynx is her next chance to play. Nikolina Milic and Teonni Key stand out as the most likely candidates to replace Sabally in the starting lineup.

Expected to play Tuesday Sabally (neck) is probable for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.

Impact It's unclear when Sabally picked up the neck injury, but the issue isn't likely to be severe enough to stop her from playing Tuesday. Over her first four appearances of the year, Sabally has averaged 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game.

Near double-double in Friday's loss Sabally supplied 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 99-95 loss to Los Angeles.

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). It was the first double-digit scoring effort of the season from Sabally, and she was one rebound shy of logging her first double-double since the 2024 season with the Liberty. She is averaging 10.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks over 26.3 minutes per game this season.

Logs three steals vs. Washington Sabally contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 68-65 loss to the Mystics.

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.

Impact Brondello made it clear that Sabally wouldn't play more than 10 minutes during Tuesday's matchup. The 25-year-old is returning from a 21-game absence due to a knee injury, so the team wants to ease her back into action during the final two regular-season games before heading into the WNBA playoffs.

Cleared from injury report Sabally (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Mystics, Jackie Powell of TheNextHoops.com reports.

Impact Sabally was a full participant at Monday's practice, and she's set to end a 21-game absence with a knee injury Tuesday. It's unclear if she'll jump into the starting lineup for the Liberty, and she would figure to have a minutes restriction in her return. Sabally has averaged 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 19.4 minutes per game over 15 appearances this season.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

More clarity will be known when the Liberty release their full injury report at some point Monday afternoon or evening.

Questionable to face Golden State Sabally (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Valkyries, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Sabally hasn't played since before the All-Star break, though her questionable tag suggests she's nearing a return to game action. If the 25-year-old forward suits up, Stephanie Talbot and Isabelle Harrison are candidates to see a slight dip in playing time.
