Nyara Sabally Welcomes Bigger Role After Toronto Tempo Expansion Draft Move

The former Liberty reserve says Toronto offers real minutes on a thinner frontcourt.

Overview

  • Nyara Sabally joined the Toronto Tempo through the WNBA Expansion Draft, moving from the New York Liberty to the league’s first Canadian team.
  • She said she expects more responsibility in Toronto after coming off the bench in New York behind All-Stars Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart.
