Satou Sabally Ruled Out Indefinitely for Unrivaled With Post-Finals Concussion

Unrivaled plans a later reevaluation following Phantom BC’s addition of Tiffany Hayes.

Overview

  • The 3-on-3 league announced Sabally’s indefinite absence due to lingering concussion symptoms and said she has not been ruled out for the entire season.
  • Phantom BC signed Golden State Valkyries guard Tiffany Hayes as a replacement after she played last season in Unrivaled for Laces BC.
  • Sabally sustained the concussion on Oct. 8 in WNBA Finals Game 3 when her head struck an Aces defender’s knee, and she missed Game 4.
  • She remains in concussion protocol without a timetable, as public scrutiny over the on-court response persists and Mercury coach Nate Thibbetts has defended the team’s medical handling.
  • Unrivaled’s second season begins Jan. 5, and Sabally acknowledged the update on Instagram with the message, “In due time. God speed.”
