As the WNBA season progresses towards the FIBA World Cup break, the Tempo’s expansion season has encountered significant difficulties. With a record of 10-23 and playoff hopes fading, Toronto faces a tough road ahead. The next game against the high-scoring Indiana Fever will test their defensive capabilities.
The team is utilizing the time off to address their challenges and integrate new players like forward Aneesah Morrow into the rotation. Morrow’s contributions have been notable since joining the team, providing depth in the frontcourt alongside key players like Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes.
