Remember when Angel Reese was forced to talk about something as invasive as AI-generated images being sent to her family members? It’s not just heartbreaking but it’s infuriating to read about it. Fans were shaken to hear her talk about it on her podcast, Unapologetically Angel. This showed us the disturbing ways technology can be weaponized against public figures. Why should an athlete, have to endure such violations of privacy?

Well, Angel Reese wasn’t just the only victim. Caitlin Clark has been in the news this past week for all the wrong reasons. She has become a target of a Texas stalker, who has reportedly left her ”very fearful”. That once again leads me to ask the question. Does being a public figure mean sacrificing basic human dignity? It’s time we ask ourselves where the line is and how we can hold people accountable for crossing it.

As the stalker drama surrounding Caitlin Clark continues to unfold, support for the basketball star has poured in from all around the world, just as it should. Among those standing firmly by her side is none other than free agent Satou Sabally. While the rumor mill buzzes with speculation about Satou’s potential move to the Indiana Fever, the German-American basketball superstar took to X to offer her support to Caitlin. Fans are watching closely, not just for her next career move, but also for the unity athletes are showing in the face of adversity.

Satou Sabally shared a screenshot of the case report detailing Caitlin Clark’s stalker being charged with a level 5 felony, captioning it, “Oh, I hope you never go through that. I’m terrified honestly.” She further reiterated the need for unity during such difficult times, stating, “Absolutely! It’s heartbreaking to hear about women going through such traumatic experiences. But it’s empowering to see people speaking out and supporting one another. Solidarity and awareness are crucial steps towards creating a safer and more just world for all.” 

It’s unfair to assume Satou Sabally is joining the Indiana Fever just because she showed support for Caitlin Clark during a difficult time. Athletes supporting one another shouldn’t be reduced to trade rumors. That said, where might the German-American star actually be headed to? Let’s dive into her potential options and explore what the future could hold for the talented free agent!

Where can Satou Sabally potentially go to?

While reports suggest that Sabally would only entertain supermax contracts, it is important to note that not many teams would be willing to sign her up due to her big injury issues. She plays an average of less than 20 games a season(97 games in five seasons) which makes it a big risk for any team. There’s no doubt her qualities as a player, the 26-year-old when fully fit, is one of the best players in the world. In the 2023 season, Sabally played 38 games while averaging 18.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game showcasing her abilities as one of the best two-way players in the league.

Now to answer the elephant in the room, where can she potentially go?

Indiana Pacers 

The fans’ favorite move would be for Caitlin Clark to join forces with Sabally and form a formidable duo that could wreck havoc in the WNBA. Realistically, the fever could offer the Wings the fifth pick plus NaLyssa Smith to make the deal happen, but it remains to be seen if the Dallas Wings would accept it as they know better offers can be found elsewhere.

 Chicago Sky 

Chicago Sky could be one of the teams who could offer their third pick of the draft if they really wished to. This would make the Sky a formidable team with Reese, and Cardoso already part of the team.

NewYork Liberty

NewYork currently can make the best offer if they wanted to, by sending the wings draft capital and Leonie Fiebich. If the deal were to go through, Sabally would be back playing with her Oregon teammate Sabrina Lonescu.

While Caitlin Clark bravely navigates through this unsettling scenario, the unwavering support from fellow athletes like Satou Sabally reminds us of the strength in unity. These moments highlight that athletes are more than just opponents on the court, they are people first, deserving of respect, privacy, and safety. As for Satou Sabally, her future in the league is just as intriguing as her role off the court. Whether she joins Caitlin in Indiana, bolsters Chicago’s roster, or reunites with familiar faces like Sabrina in New York, one thing is certain, her impact will be felt both on and off the court.
