Cloud’s public recruiting pitch comes at a pivotal time. Remember that although Sabally is poised to enter free agency, she isn’t entirely free to leave Dallas just yet. Under the WNBA’s core designation, Dallas retains exclusive negotiating rights with her. The Wings recently officially extended a core qualifying offer to Sabally.

Satou Sabally is part of the WNBA stars competing in Unrivaled, amid the free agency period. After she confirmed her desire to change teams, a Mercury star is trying to "recruit" her.

With the WNBA exploding in popularity and a new TV deal bringing more revenue, the expectation is that salaries will jump in 2026 and most free agents will sign one-year contracts to get back onto the market next offseason.

Phoenix Mercury guard Natasha Cloud has been busy with the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League, playing for Phantom BC in the 3-on-3 professional women’s basketball league, but hasn’t been distracted enough to forget about what’s about to happen in the WNBA.

After Satou Sabally said she played her last game for the Wings, the Mercury should make a move for the all-star.

Week 2 of Unrivaled women’s basketball begins Friday with a doubleheader. The Phantom and Mist play in the opener, while Laces and Vinyl meet after.
