Tempo’s Resilience in Adversity | Toronto Raptors News

The Toronto Tempo’s season just got a whole lot harder—two key players, Brittney Sykes and Aneesah Morrow, are out for the rest of the year after Friday’s injury scare. With already thin roster depth, they faced a brutal test Sunday against the powerhouse Las Vegas Aces, down to just seven players after star Julie Allemand left with a head injury at halftime. Despite being massively undermanned and facing an MVP-caliber A’ja Wilson, the Tempo refused to fold. Kia Nurse led the charge with 16 points, Kiki Rice added 14 points and 5 assists, and Temi Fagbenle delivered inside and from beyond the arc. They kept it close until the fourth quarter, when the Aces pulled away 88-78. While their defense remains last in the league, this gritty performance proves their heart—and resilience—is undeniable, even without playoff hopes.
