Things continue to go well for Satou Sabally and the Dallas Wings: With their second win in the second playoff game against the Atlanta Dream, they made the semifinals perfect. A family duel is possible.
In the best-of-five series, three wins are necessary to advance to the final series. The first game is on September 24th. In the first round, two wins were enough for the Wings. Since moving to Dallas in 2016, the team had never advanced past the first round of the playoffs. Sabally is playing her third season for the Wings and is one of the most important players there.
If Dallas makes it to the final, there could be a family duel. The New York Liberty also made it into the semi-finals and are a possible opponent for the title. Sabally’s sister Nyara is under contract in New York. In her first WNBA year, she is only a supplementary player and was not used in the 90:85 win against the Washington Mystics.
