The Phoenix Mercury are holding no punches. Just days after acquiring Alyssa Thomas and Ty Harris via trade, they’ve picked up Satou Sabally.
Per ESPN‘s Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou, Phoenix intends to add Sabally from the Dallas Wings via a three-team trade.
Yep. Another WNBA blockbuster trade.
Earlier this month, the free agent confirmed to the media that her days with the Wings were over. “I already communicated with Dallas about how grateful I am…” she told reporters at the time. Since Dallas applied the core tag to her, the veteran forward could only be moved via trade.
Here’s how the three-team trade happened to get Sabally to Phoenix.
- Mercury: Satou Sabally, Wings center Kalani Brown and guard Sevgi Uzun
- Wings: Ty Harris (from Phoenix), forward NaLyssa Smith (from Indy), the rights to forward Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and the No. 8 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft (from Indy)
- Fever: Guard Sophie Cunningham and the No. 19 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft
The trade is between the Mercury, Wings and Fever.
Phoenix gets Sabally, Kalani Brown and Sevgi Uzun. Dallas gets Ty Harris, NaLyssa Smith (via Indy) the rights to Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and the No. 8 pick from Indy. Indiana gets Sophie Cunningham and the No. 19 pick. https://t.co/ivlqRcoeJk
