The Toronto Tempo agreed to a second seven-day hardship contract with centre Kayla Alexander, Cbc reported. The 35-year-old from Milton, Ontario, had not played in the WNBA for six years before signing with Toronto one week ago. A hardship contract permits a team to exceed roster and salary cap limits temporarily when fewer than 10 active players are available.
The Tempo are without guard Brittney Sykes due to a left plantar fascia injury, forward Kiki Rice due to a left ankle sprain and centre Temi Fagbenle due to a concussion. Alexander is averaging 1.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in two games this season. The Tempo also announced that their game against the Minnesota Lynx on July 30 at Scotiabank Arena will start at 8 p.m.
ET and air on Prime Video.
