PHOENIX — Mercury star forward Satou Sabally has been diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on Friday, the team announced Thursday.

The Mercury trail the Las Vegas Aces 3-0 in the best-of-seven series after their 90-88 loss on Wednesday, in which Sabally was injured.
