Sabally will now make her WNBA debut if she makes New York’s final roster after May 18, which is the last roster cutdown date before the start of the regular season.

The player is very skilled; she has the size, the technique, the ability to face up, head out to three, and the movements inside.

The New York Liberty has been monitoring her progress after the surgery.
