Liberty center Nyara Sabally was eagerly waiting for older sister Satou in the depths of Barclays Center before Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury. 

Satou’s heels clanked on the cement as she ran toward her younger sister with her arms wide open. Nyara stood there with a smile on her face and in position to catch her sister. 

It was a long overdue hug between the German siblings who haven’t seen each other since Christmas. 

“We don’t see each other that often,” Nyara said pregame. “So it’s just cool seeing each other again. Obviously, it’s fun.”
