Satou Sabally has revealed that she has already played her final game for the Dallas Wings and intends to sign with a new team this offseason. One of the most talked-about destinations for her is the Indiana Fever, led by Caitlin Clark.

As speculation about her departure intensifies, a clip from her June 2024 appearance on the “Podcast P with Paul George” has resurfaced. In the video, she discusses the “Caitlin Clark effect” and shares her thoughts on how the rookie handles criticism. This sparked fan speculation that Sabally could be joining the Fever.

“And what I hope for her is that she still knows that there's a community of women around her that want her to succeed,” Sabally said.

“Not everyone wants someone to fail, because if you want someone to fail, like, you're jealous. You're not great if you want someone else to fail because you can't prove your own greatness, in my opinion.”

Fans quickly reacted to the video, suggesting it could be a hint that Sabally is heading to the Fever.

“She definitely going to the fever 🤣,” one fan said.
