Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are navigating a pivotal WNBA offseason, with major shifts already set in motion for the 2025 season. Following the dismissal of head coach Christie Sides in October after just two seasons in Indianapolis, the Fever swiftly appointed Stephanie White, former head coach of the Connecticut Sun, to lead the team. Yet, the potential for further transformation looms, as Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally has declared her intent to explore free agency, signaling the end of her tenure in Dallas.
Sabally, a standout player since joining the Wings in 2020, confirmed her departure, stating, “I’ve already played my last game in Dallas. I’m excited about free agency and working with [the Wings] to find my next home.” Free agency opens on January 11, and speculation has already linked Sabally to the Fever, with fans clamoring for the talented forward to team up with Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell in Indiana.
The possibility of Sabally joining the Fever has ignited fervent reactions among WNBA enthusiasts. “Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, Satou Sabally, Aliyah Boston—that’s an unstoppable starting lineup,” one fan noted. Others highlighted the Fever’s growing momentum, suggesting that Sabally’s star power combined with Indiana’s rising profile could lead to unparalleled success and visibility for the team.
Sabally, despite her limited appearances during the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury, remains a formidable talent. She averaged 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in her last season and earned All-WNBA First Team honors in 2023. Adding her to Indiana’s roster would provide White, the reigning WNBA Coach of the Year, with an enviable core to spearhead her second tenure with the Fever.
While Indiana appears to be an enticing destination, Sabally’s future remains uncertain. Another intriguing possibility lies with the New York Liberty, where her sister Nyara Sabally currently plays. With ties to her childhood home in the area, the Liberty present a compelling alternative for the All-Star forward. Wherever Sabally lands, her decision is poised to significantly reshape the WNBA landscape.
