Phoenix Mercury acquires Satou Sabally in three-team trade

The Phoenix Mercury have made significant roster changes by acquiring two-time All-Star forward Satou Sabally from the Dallas Wings in a three-team trade that also sent sharpshooter Sophie Cunningham to the Indiana Fever. In addition to Sabally, the Mercury added center Kalani Brown and guard Sevgi Uzun, while the Wings received several players including Tyasha Harris and a 2025 draft pick. This offseason has seen the Mercury aim to build a competitive team around stars like Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas, the latter of whom was also acquired in a recent trade with the Connecticut Sun. Sabally, who had a breakout season in 2023 averaging 18.6 points and 8.1 rebounds, missed part of the previous season due to injury but returned to contribute significantly. Meanwhile, other notable free agency moves include Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones heading to the Atlanta Dream, and Kelsey Mitchell opting to stay with the Indiana Fever. The WNBA offseason remains active with several high-profile players still in the mix for potential trades and signings.
