Unrivaled's first season was a success, as players like Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart and many others were involved. Sabally was a part of that, and she played for Phantom BC. She was one of the team's top scorers, and she averaged 15.3 points. She also averaged 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

Sabally played well, and when it came to her totals, she put up some good numbers. She was in the top 10 in points, as she scored a total of 214. Napheesa Collier scored the most, as she had a total of 360 points. Then, players like Chelsea Gray, Kayla McBride and Allisha Gray were ahead of Sabally. Griner, who also played for Phantom BC, was right ahead of Phoenix's new star, as she scored 234 points.

Sabally had her best performance two games later, as she had a season-high 29 points. She also had three rebounds and an assist. Griner also had 29 points, and she had nine rebounds, an assist and a steal in the process. Phantom BC won its first game, and in the end, it finished the season with a record of 4-10.

Mercury stars prepared for Unrivaled season

The Mercury forward had a good year, and while she is out indefinitely due to her concussion, Phoenix will still be represented. Alysssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper will be in action, and in Copper's case, she is going for another championship.

The Unrivaled season will be exciting, and Sabally gets a chance to play, she will pick up where she left off.
