“She is selling out gyms. Why would you hate against that?… She is her own economy, and that is amazing,” Satou Sabally had spoken up about Cailtin Clark previously. While she opined the Indiana Fever star may not be the sole narrative of the league, she admitted Clark was definitely the face of the WNBA. Now that seems to have sat well with the fans who can’t wait to see them team up.
“Satou Sabally confirms she will be a free agent this year” read a tweet by ‘Clark Report’ on X. But that wasn’t the news. Sabally’s excellent season paired with her many remarks commending Clark, has the Indiana Fever fans wanting the Forward to join the team. And it would have been left at that until the Dallas Wings star acknowledged the wishes with a ‘like’.

Averaging 17.9 points per game, Sabally has dominated this regular season. Despite missing the first half of the 2024 campaign due to a shoulder injury, she managed to shoot a remarkable 45.2% from three-point range in 15 games. But a day after the season came to an end, she revealed her excitement for the free agency.
“Yesterday, my sister [Nyara Sabally] won the WNBA championship… so there’s a lot of movement for me this offseason… [with] the decision to change teams. Yeah, so I’ll be a free agent this year, and I just feel like this is super exciting,” she had said on TikTok on Thursday.
So now if her recent social media activity is any indication, she wouldn’t mind having Indiana Fever as an option. As fans caught wind of this possibility, they couldn’t hold back their excitement.

Without wasting a minute, fans dove into the comment section to share their views. “Would love to have Satou. She is incredible and has such a beautiful energy also,” penned a user on X. As of now, the Indiana Fever’s biggest positional need is a perimeter player who can hit threes and generate her own offense. In addition, the team also needs a player capable of guarding multiple positions. Sabally checks all the boxes for the Fever, and with some experience that the team is looking for, she might be the right fit.
“She had one of the best takes about Caitlin Clark,” added another user pointing out the Wings’ star’s views. She has been accepting of the Caitlin Clark effect but also just enough to acknowledge the efforts of the whole league and the spectators are evidently all in for it.
“Get Caitlin, Satou, and it’s up!” wrote another fan on X. Sabally boasts a field goal percentage of 42.6%, with an impressive 45.2% from beyond the arc this regular season as a Dallas Wings forward. A fair opportunity to watch the 3s rain?

“Sabally in Indy with Caitlin Clark would be a dream duo! Fever fans have every reason to get excited,” expressed another user. Well, the Indiana Fever standout’s 8.4 assist average combined with Sallaby’s shooting percentages in the 40s could be a sight to catch. So, excited, a fan wrote, “Fever welcomes you.”
For the Indiana Fever, who failed to advance to the second round of this year’s playoffs, strengthening their roster could prevent a repeat. Now, the only question is: Will Christie Sides’ Fever be able to land Satou Sabally? Stay tuned to find out!
