New Liberty forward Satou Sabally may miss the team's preseason opener against the Fever due to a lingering injury. Coach Chris DeMarco confirmed that Sabally is not at 100 percent and that the team is monitoring her health. Sabally had a concussion in the WNBA Finals and sat out the 2025 Unrivaled season due to lingering symptoms. She returned to playing five-on-five and has been active in practice, but is still increasing her conditioning. The Liberty's new team includes several new faces, including Rebecca Allen and Marine Fauthoux, who will miss the game. The team's new uniforms were a hit among players and fans.
