Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally is out indefinitely for Unrivaled due to concussion symptoms, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews.
Sabally sustained a concussion in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals against the Las Vegas Aces. She did not play in Game 4, which led to the Aces sweeping the Mercury and securing their third WNBA title in four years. It has been over two months since the WNBA Finals ended, and the Unrivaled season is set to begin Jan. 5.
