Satou Sabally ready to make her debut for Mercury

After five seasons with the Dallas Wings, Sabally requested a trade and was granted her wish. She was acquired by the Mercury in a historic four-team trade that also involved the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever.

Sabally will be the new face of the franchise alongside Alyssa Thomas, who was acquired from the Sun. They are expected to open a new era in Phoenix following Diana Taurasi’s retirement and Brittney Griner’s move to the Atlanta Dream in free agency.

The German international kept busy in the offseason, playing for Phantom BC in Unrivaled. While they failed to make the playoffs, the fast pace of the 3-on-3 league helped her stay in game shape. She now has a few weeks of rest before training camp begins in a month, with the season opener set for May 16.
