She led the Mercury to the WNBA Finals last season while averaging 16.3 points 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Sabally’s now set to join a Liberty roster that’s already stacked with talent.

She’ll be playing alongside two-time MVP Breanna Stewart, 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones and four-time All-Star Sabrina Ionescu.

New York reached the finals in 2023 and 2024, taking home the victory in the latter year. They got off to a hot 9-0 start last season before they were crippled with injuries.

After going home in the first round of the 2025 postseason, the Liberty are loading up a roster with clear championship goals in mind.
