Satou Sabally is heading to the New York Liberty<\/a> in one of the biggest free agency moves of the offseason. After helping lead the Phoenix Mercury to the WNBA<\/a> Finals last season, the three-time All-Star forward has agreed to a multi-year deal with New York.<\/p>\n

The move gives the Liberty yet another major piece as they continue building around a championship-caliber core. Sabally has become one of the most versatile stars in the league, capable of scoring, rebounding and creating offense from multiple spots on the floor.<\/p>\n

The move was reported by Alexa Philippou on X who said, \u201cMajor WNBA free agency domino: All-Star Satou Sabally has agreed to sign a multiyear deal to join the New York Liberty, agent Zack Miller of WME Basketball tells me, @ShamsCharania and @kendra__andrews. Sabally departs after leading the Phoenix Mercury to the 2025 WNBA Finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Closer Look at the New York Liberty\u2019s Latest Signing<\/p>\n

After helping the Phoenix Mercury reach the WNBA Finals last season, Satou Sabally entered free agency as one of the most in-demand players in the league. She ended up rewarding herself with another big move after putting together one of the strongest seasons of her career.<\/p>\n

Sabally averaged 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists last year, leading Phoenix in scoring and proving once again that she can impact games in a variety of ways. She was especially important during the Mercury’s playoff run, averaging 19 points and seven rebounds before a concussion forced her to miss the end of the Finals series.<\/p>\n

Her arrival gives the New York Liberty another major offensive weapon to place alongside Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones. With Jones also returning, New York suddenly has a roster that looks even deeper and more dangerous than the group that already won a title and made multiple Finals appearances.<\/p>\n

There is also a level of comfort for Sabally in New York. She will reunite with Ionescu, her former teammate at University of Oregon, while also joining former overseas teammate Leonie Fiebich.<\/p>\n
