The All-Star has been dealing with a right ankle injury and hasn’t played since July 3. Sabally took to Instagram to express her disappointment over not being able to compete, despite working hard to be back on the court “as soon as possible.”
“I want to ensure I’m doing everything I can to be healthy after the break,” she said on her post. “And give my organization and the X-Factor everything I can as we compete to accomplish our team goals.”
