2026 Fantasy Outlook

Sabally spent the first six years of her WNBA career with Dallas before being traded to Phoenix in January of 2025. She saw her playing time dip significantly this past season (26.6 minutes per game) compared to 2024 (34.1), but she still averaged 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 threes across 39 regular-season games in 2025. Sabally has had some issues with injuries over the last couple of years, including a concussion that prevented her from playing in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals against the Aces, but she's expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. Sabally was an unrestricted free agent during the offseason and elected to join the Liberty, where she'll be part of a talented frontcourt that includes Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones.

Sabally won't return to Tuesday's game against the Aces due to a facial injury, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports. She'll finish with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across eight minutes.

ANALYSIS
Sabally was struck in the face in the first half and won't return during the second. Her next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Seattle. If the 28-year-old forward is forced to miss additional time, Pauline Astier, Marine Johannes and Rebecca Allen would be candidates for increased playing time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2025

2024

2023

2022

Availability has been Sabally's main drawback over her five seasons in the league, and that was no different in 2024. After she appeared in a career-high 38 regular-season games in 2023, she was limited to just 15 regular-season appearances in 2024, as she missed the first half of the year while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Her production didn't take a major hit upon her return, as she averaged 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 34.1 minutes per game. Sabally will have a change of scenery in 2025 for the first time in her career, as she was traded from Dallas to Phoenix during the offseason. The Mercury also acquired Alyssa Thomas over the winter, but if Sabally can remain healthy in 2025, she should maintain a prominent role for a team that lost longtime center Brittney Griner via free agency.

Sabally had relatively consistent production over her first three seasons in the league, but she had some absences that led to some slow stretches. However, she appeared in 38 games in 2023 and put together a career-best season in nearly every statistical category. The 25-year-old averaged 18.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.1 minutes per game while shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from the floor and 36.1 percent from beyond the arc. Sabally re-signed with the Wings during the offseason, but she underwent shoulder surgery in February that is expected to keep her sidelined through the Olympic break. She has plenty of late-season potential if she can return at full strength, but Maddy Siegrist, Lou Lopez Senechal and Kalani Brown could see increased run over the first half of the year.

Sabally is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy prospect entering the 2023 season. When healthy, she's proven to be worth the investment, averaging 11.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.5 steals over 21.7 minutes per game in 2022. Unfortunately, she hasn't appeared in more than 16 games in any of her first three WNBA seasons while battling various injuries. If willing to stomach the risk, Sabally has the upside of a player landing in the first three or four rounds of fantasy drafts, but be prepared with backup options in the frontcourt.

Last season, Sabally didn't join the Wings until June because she was still competing in Europe, and then she missed nine games in the second half of the WNBA campaign because of an Achilles injury, so she only appeared in 17 total contests for Dallas. However, when she was on the floor, the second-year forward was one of the Wings' top producers. She averaged 11.9 points and 5.9 rebounds across 24.9 minutes, which were all lower than her rookie campaign, but that dropoff can likely be attributed to the lack of rhythm due to her lengthy absences. If Sabally is able to put together a full season in 2022, she'll likely finish as Dallas' No. 2 option behind Arike Ogunbowale.
