The New York Liberty rule forward Satou Sabally out for the remainder of the season, the team announces. She will also miss the playoffs. The Athletic and CBS Sports report she has not played since suffering a head injury that includes a concussion.
All outlets tie the setback to Sabally’s most recent concussion in June. Yahoo Sports adds that the injury occurred on June 23 during a game against the Las Vegas Aces, when she is hit in the head and face. It also states that Sabally had previously suffered a concussion while playing for the Phoenix Mercury during Game 3 of the 2025 WNBA Finals. CBS Sports similarly describes this as the second concussion in roughly the past 10 months.
While outlets differ on how much background to include, they agree on the key point: Sabally is sidelined and the Liberty will have to proceed without her for the rest of the season as she recovers from the latest head injury.
