Satou Sabally is set to make her season debut for the Dallas Wings after recovering from a shoulder injury sustained while playing for Germany in the Olympics. Alongside Sabally, Maddy Siegrist (returning from a broken finger) and rookie Jaelyn Brown are also cleared to join the active roster, while the team released Odyssey Sims and Monique Billings due to hardship contracts. The Wings, currently with a 6-19 record, are in need of reinforcements as they are tied for the worst record in the WNBA. Sabally, a 2023 All-Star, averaged 18.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Olympics, while Siegrist had been averaging 14.6 points before her injury. The Wings will face the Connecticut Sun on August 16, and Sabally's return is crucial for their playoff hopes, as they are 4.5 games behind the eighth playoff spot. This season is especially pivotal following their semifinal appearance in 2023, and the team is looking to regain their form with key players back in the lineup.
