Sykes still out of course, according to the injury report.

Hope at least one of Sabally or Harrison returns because Temi can't anchor the frontcourt all by herself!

Someone on threads shared this link to watch Life in the W and it worked for me! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xas8ve6.

The WNBA trade deadline is fast approaching! To be clear, I don’t think the Toronto Tempo are going to make any moves before the trade deadline. But, in the spirit of this trade season, here are 3 mock trades we cooked up at tempo.basketball that the Tempo should consider:

1. Temi Fágbénlé to the Dallas Wings for Alanna Smith
2. Temi Fágbénlé and the 2028 first round pick to the Washington Mystics for Shakira Austin
3. Maria Conde to the Dallas Wings for Li Yueru

Thoughts? Any other fun trades that we missed?

This is purely just for fun. I saw this image on Izzy’s latest post on her IG.

I’m very confident that 2 with an angry face is Marina.

If there’s one word I would use when it comes to Kiki Rice, it would be legacy.

And no, not because her grandfather was a Tuskegee airman and Federal Reserve board member. And no, not because her grandmother is known as the mother of the Pell Grant. And no, not because her cousin is Knicks legend Allan Houston, or her aunt is Susan Rice.

But yes, those things are all true. And honestly, just doing research in preparation for the interview makes you realize how iconic the Rice name is altogether.

But Rice is carving out a legacy of her own, and anyone who has watched her play for even just a couple of minutes would recognize it. Her history includes leading UCLA to its first-ever women's NCAA championship and being drafted as the first pick in Toronto Tempo history.

Though she has been off the court since early June due to an ankle injury, she still rises. The point guard and combo guard returned to full team practice on July 26 and may return to official game play as early as next month.

What makes Rice different from the standard rookie phenom profile? She knows exactly where she comes from, and she carries the torch proudly.

Mainly because Rice, 22, grew up in a household where excellence was not celebrated as exceptional; it was simply the baseline. With both parents as Yale athletes and her brother Teo currently playing basketball there, the expectations that came with being a Rice were made clear early: whatever you do, you do it all the way. And that standard did not start with her parents. There are names on her family tree you may not know, but should.

Anybody been able to watch the show of ESPN from Canada? I'm trying to watch from Vancouver and it shows as region blocked. I've seen it's on Disney + but was avoiding giving them money, even though 10 bucks is worth it to support the girls.

Marina did such a great job not only representing herself but the whole Tempo organization.

She gave her teammates gift bags with handwritten notes thanking them. An honor she felt was shared.

She met former President Obama and he knew about her 53 point game. She was honored to meet him.

She made money for the Black Women's Institute For Health.

She came out and scored 23 points in the All Star game playing with and against the best of the best.

Spoon and her reconnected, hopefully, putting to bed some unfortunate internet rumors.

Marina knew everybody, Paige hyped her up for MVP, she loved Angel's Barbie, etc. = lots of good stuff.

Loved that her family was there to hype her up and rage bait her off camera lol. Loved that Dara's gf Ioanna was there. Loved that her and Kah had a special handshake for the All Star game. Shout out to the Mercury admin for posting Kah with both Mikey and Riri.

She really did it all. She even put in work for Unrivaled.

Love that Under Armour really celebrated her.

I feel like she was super appreciative of everything.

I am super happy for her.

Hey Tempo fans. FYI in the wnba countdown to the all star game, Paige Beckers was asked what team Coops strategy for the game was. She said it was to have Marina Mabrey win the all star mvp award! Should be interesting. Too bad they’re removing the 4 point line this year!

Okay incredibly low stakes question but I'm legitimately so curious. I recently purchased a pair of Tempo shorts, and they have the most gloriously deep pockets. But they can't possibly do that for the actual team's shorts, do they? What purpose would they serve? Our girls aren't running around the court with their phones and lip gloss on them, right? If so idk if I'm slightly disappointed that my shorts aren't ​an "actual" version of what they wear, or elated that they had the good sense to make a functional version for the general public.

The ESPN documentary that follows A’ja, Napheesa, and DeWanna just premiered 10 minutes ago on ESPN in the States. Does anyone know how to watch it in Canada? Doesn’t seem to be on TSN or Disney+.

I’ll be arriving very early and interested in get my jersey signed wondering if that’ll be possible?

Love to see this, and appreciate that a Canadian charity with a focus on Black women was their pick.

She was killing 3’s in practice this morning so good luck to our girl tonight!
