Isabelle Harrison And Sandy Brondello Pair Up Once Again As Toronto Tempo Acquire Veteran Forward

With the big WNBA draft coming up, the franchises are busy sorting out their last-minute preferences. Till now, the free agency has witnessed some surprising trades like that of Angel Reese. On the contrary, reports of Sophie Cunningham signing for the Indiana Fever were an expected turn of events. 

However, for expansion team Toronto Tempo, they needed to get things right. After all, who would want to kickstart their WNBA journey on a false footing? Thankfully, till now, they are progressing quite well. Turning down multiple high-paying offers, Sandy Brondello chose the Tempo. And while she is rejoining forces with her old acquaintances, names like Isabelle Harrison are eager to excel.
