The Phoenix Mercury are acquiring forward Satou Sabally from the Dallas Wings in a three-team trade with the Indiana Fever, sources told ESPN's Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou.

The Wings will receive guard Ty Harris and the rights to forward Kiki Herbert Harrigan from the Mercury, as well as forward NaLyssa Smith and the No. 8 pick in the WNBA draft from the Fever. Indiana is adding guard Sophie Cunningham and the No. 19 pick.

Phoenix is also getting center Kalani Brown and guard Sevgi Uzun in the deal.

Sabally, a two-time All-Star, averaged 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and five assists last season. She won Most Improved Player in 2023 and also made All-WNBA first team.

The 26-year-old said she played her last game in Dallas earlier this month. She was cored after that, meaning she could only depart the franchise via trade.

The Wings drafted Sabally out of Oregon with the No. 2 pick in 2020. Dallas holds the No. 1 selection in the 2025 draft after finishing with a 31-49 record over the past two seasons.

The Mercury originally acquired Harris earlier this week in a trade that reportedly landed them Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun. Phoenix has added two high-level players to re-vamp its title efforts after losing in the first round of the playoffs last season.

Brittney Griner left Phoenix in free agency for the Atlanta Dream.

Dallas overhauled its coaching and front office staff this offseason, bringing in former coach Curt Miller as executive vice president and general manager and USC assistant Chris Koclanes to replace Latricia Trammell as head coach.
