Liberty agree to multiyear deals with Satou Sabally, Jonquel Jones - ESPN

Satou Sabally has agreed to sign a multiyear deal with the New York Liberty, her agent Zack Miller of WME Basketball told ESPN on Saturday.

Also Saturday, Jonquel Jones agreed to sign a multiyear deal to return to New York, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Sabally's decision to join the Liberty, who won the WNBA title in 2024, came from her desire to be a part of what she believes is a title-contending team, as well as the culture established in New York, a source told ESPN.

Sabally was one of the most coveted free agents last offseason before landing with the Phoenix Mercury. She led the team in scoring with 16.3 points and also averaged 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals en route to her third All-Star Game appearance.

In the postseason, Sabally averaged 19 points and seven rebounds, helping lead the Mercury to the WNBA Finals. She suffered a concussion in Game 3 that caused her to miss the final game of the series.

Sabally, 27, was ruled out of participating in Unrivaled in January as she dealt with lingering symptoms from the concussion. Her arrival in New York reunites her with former University of Oregon teammate Sabrina Ionescu, who told reporters she intends to re-sign with the Liberty. Together, they led the Ducks to the program's first Final Four in 2019. They were subsequently selected as the top two picks in the 2020 WNBA draft, with Ionescu being taken by the Liberty with the No. 1 pick, and Sabally taken by the Dallas Wings with the second pick.

Sabally is also reunited with Leonie Fiebich, with whom she has played at Valencia Basket during the WNBA offseason. Sabally's sister, Nyara, was a member of the Liberty for two seasons before being selected by the Toronto Tempo in this year's expansion draft.
