Ex-Liberty Star Nyara Sabally Dominates in New Role
3 Jun
Summary
- Nyara Sabally averages career-highs in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks.
- Sabally achieved her best WNBA game with 29 points, shooting 11-of-14.
- Toronto Tempo faces Liberty in Commissioner's Cup opener, featuring Sabally.
Nyara Sabally, a former top draft pick, is now a key starter for the expansion Toronto Tempo, showcasing a significant leap in her game. During her tenure with the New York Liberty, Sabally played limited minutes behind established stars. Now with Toronto, she is averaging career-highs of 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game.
Just last week, Sabally delivered her most impressive WNBA performance, scoring 29 points on efficient shooting and making multiple three-pointers, a stark contrast to her previous output with the Liberty. This newfound prominence comes after a knee injury that sidelined her in 2022, but she is now fulfilling her potential.
The Toronto Tempo, led by former Liberty coach Sandy Brondello, will face the Liberty for the first time since Sabally's departure. This Commissioner's Cup opener carries extra significance for both teams, with prize money and donations to nonprofit organizations on the line.
