Satou Sabally - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Not starting Friday Sabally (illness) isn't listed in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus Phoenix.

Impact Sabally has been battling an illness, limiting her to only four minutes in Monday's 81-74 loss to Portland before keeping her off the floor for Wednesday's 84-74 win over Phoenix. Head coach Chris DeMarco indicated Sabally would be limited to roughly 20 minutes of action in the rematch with the Mercury, so Leonie Fiebich, who is starting again Friday, should continue to be more involved than usual.

However, the Liberty will monitor her playing time closely in her return. Sabally has completed just two games this season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 20.5 minutes per game in those appearances.

Posts 20 points Sunday Sabally notched 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 91-76 loss to the Wings.

Impact Sabally paced the Liberty in scoring, aided by a team-high three triples and perfect marks from the charity stripe. Sunday's performance was much more in line with expectations for the standout forward compared to her season debut Thursday, when she mustered five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block against the Valkyries. After missing the first four contests due to a cyst and averaging 20.5 minutes across her first two appearances, look for Sabally's playing time to increase moving forward.
