As the 2024 WNBA season draws to a close, the focus has shifted toward the upcoming free agency period, particularly for teams that either missed the playoffs or were ousted early in the postseason. Among these franchises, the Indiana Fever has consistently emerged as a potential destination for the league’s most coveted free agent. Finishing the season with a balanced 20-20 record, the Fever secured the No. 6 position in the WNBA standings but fell short in the first round of the playoffs, despite featuring standout players like Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell.
In the wake of their playoff exit, a chorus of Indiana Fever fans has begun advocating for the addition of Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally, who will enter unrestricted free agency in 2025 after five seasons with the organization. Recently, Sabally expressed her anticipation regarding the forthcoming offseason decisions, stating, “It’s a lot of movement for me this offseason,” and hinting at the possibility of switching teams as well as exploring new shoe brand partnerships. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she declared, “I feel like this is just super exciting,” signaling that significant changes lie ahead.
Sabally’s social media engagement has further fueled speculation about her future, as she has liked several comments on TikTok encouraging her to join the Fever. Fans have been actively recruiting the talented forward, emphasizing the potential synergy between Sabally and Clark, who led the league with an impressive average of 8.4 assists per game. Enthusiastic supporters have made their sentiments clear, with comments ranging from “SATOU PLZ COME TO INDY WE LOVE U” to playful speculation about her next move, suggesting that her options may be limited to either the Fever or the Liberty.
Despite a challenging season that saw her participate in only 15 games due to a shoulder injury, Sabally showcased her abilities with an average of 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. With her rehabilitation now complete, Sabally is primed to enter her sixth season in the league following her selection as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft. As free agency approaches, the excitement surrounding her potential move to the Indiana Fever continues to grow, igniting hope among fans for a transformative addition to the team’s roster.
