Ruled out for Sunday Sabally (cyst) won't play Sunday against the Mystics, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.

Status uncertain for road trip Sabally, who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sun, is considered day-to-day due to a cyst, and it's not yet clear whether she'll travel with the Liberty for their u...

Impact Sabally missed practices late this week due to an illness, and the Liberty revealed on their first injury report of the season that the forward is dealing with a cyst. While Sabally's day-to-day designation is encouraging, the possibility of a multi-game absence to begin the regular season appears to be on the table. If Sabally remains sidelined beyond Friday's Opening Night matchup, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Rebekah Gardner and Rebecca Allen (leg) are candidates to see increased playing time.

Listed out for season opener Sabally (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Sun, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Sabally dealt with an illness down the stretch of the preseason, and it'll now cost her at least the first game of the 2026 campaign. Look for Manuela Puoch, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Rebekah Gardner to be in the mix for more minutes with New York navigating around a depleted frontcourt.

Iffy for Friday Sabally (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Sun, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sabally sat out practice Wednesday and is still dealing with an illness that puts her availability for the regular-season opener in question, according to Liberty head coach Chris DeMarco. The forward is coming off a 2025 campaign in which she averaged 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals across 39 regular-season appearances with the Mercury. If Sabally is unable to play, New York would be without two of its top players to open the season, with Sabrina Ionescu (foot) sidelined for at least two weeks.

Ruled out against Connecticut Sabally (reconditioning) is listed as out for Sunday's preseason game against Connecticut, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Sabally is still working her way back into shape, although it's likely she will be ready to go when the Liberty opens the 2026 campaign against the Sun on May 8. The 28-year-old, who agreed to a multi-year contract with New York in April, is coming off a strong season, averaging 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks over 26.6 minutes in 39 regular-season appearances with the Mercury.

Iffy for Sunday Sabally (reconditioning) is questionable for Sunday's preseason game against the Sun, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sabally may sit out New York's final tune-up game for reconditioning purposes. Even if she doesn't play Sunday, the star forward should be good to go for the Liberty's regular-season opener against Connecticut on Friday.

Ruled out Saturday Sabally (reconditioning) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Fever, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sabally will sit out Saturday's preseason opener as the Liberty ramp her up for game action. The star forward's final chance to play in the preseason will come against Connecticut on May 3.

Iffy for preseason opener Sabally is questionable for Saturday's preseason game against the Fever due to reconditioning, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact While Sabally said Monday that she's "full go" at training camp, it's unclear if she'll be available to make her Liberty debut versus the Fever. Sabally also said Monday that the Liberty are "monitoring everything" and that she's being eased back into action, so it wouldn't be surprising to see her in street clothes Saturday. However, even if that's the case, Sabally should be ready to go once the regular season rolls around.

Says she's healthy to begin camp Sabally (concussion) said Monday that she's "full go" as training camp gets underway, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sabally also said Monday that the Liberty are "monitoring everything" and that she's being eased back into action, but it seems unlikely that her concussion that forced her to miss the end of the 2025 WNBA playoffs will force her to miss time to begin the regular season. Sabally appeared in a career-high 39 regular-season games with the Mercury last year, averaging 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.6 minutes per game.
