Sykes Returns as Tempo Battle Back | Mobile News

Toronto Tempo’s tough season just got a flicker of hope as star Brittney Sykes nears return after a two-month plantar fascia injury — her absence coincided with a brutal 10-game losing streak that dropped them to 10-23. If cleared, she could play Tuesday vs. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, kicking off a packed schedule including back-to-back home games against Indy, a road tilt in Washington, then a Vancouver swing featuring sold-out crowds and matchups against Portland and Las Vegas — the second year of WNBA games in the city. After that, they’ll hit Seattle, Las Vegas, and Phoenix before the World Cup break, following a punishing five-game road trip that also included stops in Montreal. Meanwhile, Diana Taurasi’s No. 3 jersey was retired by Phoenix Mercury in a Sunday ceremony, and Caitlin Clark earned AP Player of the Week honors after averaging over 25 points and 9 assists.
