Phoenix Mercury star Satou Sabally had to be helped off the court early on Wednesday night after a scary head injury in their WNBA Finals matchup with the Las Vegas Aces.

Sabally was fighting for a rebound midway through the fourth quarter at the Mortgage Matchup Center when she was pulled down by Jackie Young. As Sabally was about to hit the floor, the side of her head collided with Kierstan Bell's knee directly. 

Sabally went down hard, clearly in a lot of pain, as Young was called for a foul. Teammates and staff came out to help her and covered the scene up with towels as she was being checked on.

Sabally was helped to her feet, but looked incredibly out of it and had to be supported by staff members. She eventually sat back down on the court, unable to move on her own. Finally, she was walked off the floor very slowly and was taken directly back to the locker room.

Further specifics of her injury are not yet known. 

Sabally had a team-high 24 points and five rebounds when she went down.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
