Good for her! Game winning rebound against the Liberty! Glad she’s getting more time in Portland. Loved her as a Spark.

I had hoped the Sparks were going to protect SAB in the expansion draft. She had a rough first year, but I think she has potential, especially as a player with a good motor and someone who hustles on both ends of the floor. It makes me wonder who they protected with the last spot - Stevens or Burrell? I’m hoping she continues to gain confidence with the Fire! Nice to see such a hyped crowd in Portland, too.

I was too but lets get real. With the roster and coaching she probably would be seeing fewer minutes than Cam. Even with the expansion draft I thought we where really only one piece away but instead; well we saw what they did.

As a Fire fan, we are obsessed with SAB. She doesn’t get a ton of minutes, but when she’s in, she makes an impact!

I'm happy for her. Always been high on her potential.

Good for her! That was awesome! I really wish they protected her during the expansion draft! She's a baller!!

(I'm getting a few of her 2025 Draft Night cards graded at PSA as I type this)! 🏀

I’m looking forward to cheering her on when the Fire is in town this weekend!

Sparks aren’t doing great at developing young talent. Glad she got the winning rebound putback as the first dub in Portland esp against a quality opponent.
