Social media is teeing off on the WNBA after Phoenix Mercury All-Star Satou Sabally complained about having to play on back-to-back nights.
The Mercury had little time to rest following Thursday’s 83-61 blowout loss to the Las Vegas Aces, as they had to quickly turn around to complete their back-to-back on Friday against the Golden State Valkyries.
Speaking to reporters before Friday’s game, Satou Sabally made headlines when she complained about the WNBA’s scheduling and expressed her concern about player safety.
“It’s like they don’t care about player safety,” Sabally said, per Desert Wave Media. “It’s like they don’t care about scheduling.”
As you would guess, social media had plenty of angry reactions to Satou Sabally’s comments.
“This league is so unserious,” one fan said.
“never has any league in history been more unlikeable,” wrote a user.
“40 games and they want to load manage already lol,” quipped another.
“They deserve less. What a joke,” a fan said.
“But they want NBA money and don’t play 8/ games 😂,” wrote another.
“Can’t play back to back but constantly crying about deserving more money. Comical,” said a user.
Indeed, there have been plenty of injuries to notable WNBA players this year. Superstar guard Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has missed most of the year due to various injuries, and there’s no timeline on when she may return.
Sophie Cunningham, who’s emerged as one of the league’s most popular players for stepping up as Clark’s enforcer, suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. Minnesota Lynx superstar Napheesa Collier hasn’t played in three weeks because of a sprained ankle, too.
Satou Sabally Is HAving Another Strong Season For Mercury

The three-time All-Star is having another excellent season in Phoenix, averaging 17 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game through her first 30 contests of 2025.
Sabally, who won the 2023 Most Improved Player honors, has Phoenix sitting comfortably in a playoff spot with a 21-14 record through 35 games. Though they entered Friday seven back of the Lynx for the top seed, the Mercury are a virtual lock to return to the postseason.
After Friday’s game, Phoenix will get three days of rest before they return to action against the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday.
