Nyara Sabally

25-Year-Old ForwardF
 New York Liberty  WNBA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
When healthy, Sabally had a fairly consistent role for the Liberty in 2024, averaging 13.5 minutes per game across 26 appearances. She showed flashes of potential, including a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Sparks on Aug. 28, one of only two times she played 20-plus minutes in a game. New York lost Kayla Thornton and Courtney Vandersloot this offseason and didn't make any notable acquisitions outside of Cheyenne Parker-Tyus while other stars around the league swapped teams, leaving Sabally to operate as the primary backup to Jonquel Jones again. Sabally can contribute in fantasy if she sees 20-plus minutes, but she's not expected to have that role when everyone is healthy in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Withdraws from EuroBasket
FNew York Liberty
June 11, 2025
Sabally will not participate at EuroBasket with Germany, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
After previously missing six WNBA games with a knee issue, Sabally didn't want to put too much on her plate this summer. Sabally said this wasn't an easy decision, and that she will still prioritize the national team over the long term. Meanwhile, Leonie Fiebich will head overseas for EuroBasket. Sabally will likely retreat to the bench once Jones is healthy, but the former played double-digit minutes in each of her first two appearances of the season, and even though both of those games ended with double-digit margins of victory, it wouldn't be surprising to see her maintain a consistent role off the bench.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Sabally was selected fifth overall by the Liberty in 2022, but she missed her entire rookie campaign due to an injury. She made her WNBA debut last year for a revamped New York squad and had limited production while operating exclusively off the bench. The 24-year-old averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in 7.9 minutes per game over 33 appearances and was an inconsistent part of the rotation, especially late in the year. While Sabally could have some streaming appeal if the Liberty deal with injuries at some point, she shouldn't be considered a viable season-long target.
Sabally missed the entirety of her would-be rookie campaign in 2022 due to right knee surgery, but the 2022 No. 5 overall pick is expected to be healthy and will look to compete for a roster spot in 2023. The 6-foot-5 forward posted 15.4 points and 7.8 rebounds during her final collegiate campaign at Oregon, but it's unclear how her game will translate at the pro level, especially coming off an ACL tear. She also faces a new-look frontcourt that'll feature All-WNBA talents Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones, so Sabally's path to regular playing time is significantly hampered. She'll compete for a reserve role with Kayla Thornton, Jocelyn Willoughby, Stefanie Dolson and Han Xu, but barring multiple injuries, it's hard to imagine her cracking the top-50 fantasy producers.
