Dallas Wings forward and 2023 Most Improved Player of the Year winner, Satou Sabally, was a guest on the latest (Jun. 10, 2024) episode of 'Podcast P' hosted by Paul George. During the episode, PG and his co-hosts asked Sabally about a viral moment involving her and an NBA player.
The viral moment was when former Dallas Mavericks player Grant Williams approached Sabally and the two hugged after the Wings beat the Atlanta Dream in last year's WNBA playoffs to advance to the next round.
"Grant [Williams] and I are friends," Sabally said. "And we've been friends before the situation. I don't know why his contact was open. He had my number already."
Trending
This moment between Sabally and Grant Williams gained plenty of fan attention. Many joked that Williams was trying to get Sabally's contact details, especially after someone zoomed in on a still showing Williams had his contact details pulled up on his phone while speaking with Sabally. On the podcast, Sabally clarified that Williams already had her number before this viral moment.
Sabally added that as a member of the WNBPA, she sometimes reaches out to Williams for advice since he is the current vice president of the National Basketball Players Association.
Satou Sabally is expected to return to action after the Olympics
Satou Sabally has yet to suit up for the Dallas Wings this season as she is still recovering from shoulder surgery, to address an injury she suffered during the Olympic qualifiers back in February.
Sabally, who is part German, is expected to represent the German national team in the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris and is also anticipated to be available to suit up for the Wings once the Olympics conclude.
She has plated all four of her WNBA seasons with the Dallas Wings, where she has been an integral part of their game plan, averaging 15.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals. Last season, she averaged her career-best in points (18.6 ppg), rebounds (8.1 rpg), assists (4.4 apg) and steals (1.8 spg).
