When it comes to the playoffs, Sabally is no stranger to the postseason. In her time with the Dallas Wings, she reached the playoffs three times.

Sabally makes playoff debut against the Sky

The first time she made it was in 2021, in a season where the Wings finished the season with a record of 14-18. Dallas faced the Chicago Sky in the first round, and the Sky beat them 81-64. Sabally finished that game with 12 points, four rebounds, two steals and an assist.

Dallas did not have a chance to redeem themselves that year, as the first round consisted of single-elimination games.

The following year, the Wings reached the playoffs once again. They finished the season with a record of 18-18. This time around, the first round was a series. Dallas faced the Connecticut Sun in that round, and Connecticut won 2-1. The Sun's win in this series was the first step in them making the WNBA Finals. They faced the Las Vegas Aces, and the Aces won 3-1.

Connecticut won Game 1 and Game 3, but Dallas tied the series in Game 2. Kayla Thornton was the Wings' leading scorer with 20 points. Sabally played 10 minutes in that game, and she had five points.

In that series, Sabally averaged seven points, three assists and 1.3 rebounds.
