What’s going on, guys? It’s your boy JN Li, back with another video!
It looks like Satu Sabally has officially turned down the option to head to Chicago. This story is getting wild, so let’s dive into it!
Yesterday, Satu Sabally announced to the world that she is done with the Dallas Wings. After five seasons with the team, she’s ready to move on. While her time in Dallas had its ups and downs, it hasn’t been all bad. Still, Sabally is seeking a fresh start.
Her time in Dallas was plagued by injuries that limited her ability to perform at her best. Now, Sabally has officially made waves, announcing her departure and looking forward to finding her next team.
Satu Sabally’s interview highlights:
Interviewer: “Do you plan to stay in Dallas next season?”
Satu Sabally: “I’ve already communicated with Dallas how grateful I am because they’ve made this a home for me over the past years. But I’m working with them to find my next home. I’ve already played my last game in Dallas, and I’m excited for free agency. I’m looking forward to getting to know more players and teams to figure out where I fit best in the future.”
One key takeaway from Sabally’s statement is her desire to play with her sister one day. But “one day” doesn’t mean now. That eliminates options like New York Liberty, at least for now.
Based on my analysis, Sabally’s most likely destination is Indiana Fever. It’s a great fit for her talent and ambitions, and she could make a real impact there.
Breaking news from Annie Costabile:
Annie tweeted earlier today that Chicago Sky is officially out of the running for Sabally. Instead, the Sky is considering trading their No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft to focus on rebuilding for the 2026 season.
Annie emphasized that the Sky needs a long-term strategy to regain their competitiveness and attract top free agents in the future, similar to how they lured Candace Parker in 2021.
Final thoughts:
Satu Sabally isn’t going to Chicago Sky. Her focus is on finding a team that aligns with her goals and playing style. Indiana Fever seems like the best fit for her.
