Toronto Tempo @ Connecticut Sun
Pre-Game Analysis
The Connecticut Sun will host the Toronto Tempo on September 24, 2026, in an Eastern Conference matchup between two teams near the bottom of the standings.
Connecticut enters the contest with a 10-33 record, good for seventh place in the Eastern Conference, while Toronto sits just ahead at 11-32, holding down sixth place. With both clubs separated by a single game in the standings, this matchup carries some late-season significance for positioning in the conference.

How the Sun's defense handles Mabrey's scoring output could play a significant role in how the game unfolds.
