Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally will miss the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game due to an ankle injury, but remains involved in CBA negotiations. She has been recovering from injury since July 3 and is expected to return after July 23. Sabally was having a career year before her injury, averaging 19.1 points per game. The All-Star Game is scheduled for Saturday, with other players like Caitlin Clark and Alyssa Thomas also facing injury concerns.
Satou Sabally of the Dallas Wings has been named the WNBA's Most Improved Player for the 2023 season. The 6-foot-4 forward, who grew up in Gambia and Germany before attending college at Oregon, has averaged career highs in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and three-point shooting. Sabally's emergence has been crucial to the Wings' success, and she is expected to receive MVP votes as well.
A group of Minnesota Lynx fans were ejected from the team's game against the Dallas Wings after heckling Wings forward Satou Sabally when she rolled her ankle. The fans reportedly made derogatory comments, prompting Sabally to call the Lynx's fan base "disgusting." Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve apologized for the fans' behavior, and the teams will face each other again on Thursday.
