Marina Mabrey will play for the Toronto Tempo against the Atlanta Dream on Monday night despite a lingering neck injury, Hindustan Times reports. The Tempo star was upgraded to available after being listed as probable, according to beat reporter Chelsea Leite.
Toronto is on an eight-game losing streak with a 10-21 record. Brittney Sykes, second-leading scorer with 20.1 points per game, remains out. In the Tempo's last loss to Portland Fire, Nyara Sabally scored 17 points and Julie Allemand had 11 points and 12 assists. Atlanta enters with a 19-12 record.
The narrative that a single star’s return will automatically end a losing streak is simplistic. Tempo have lost eight straight, and Mabrey alone cannot fix defensive lapses or inconsistent bench contributions. The real test is whether the supporting cast can provide sustained help beyond Sabally and Allemand. Can Toronto's role players step up against a Dream team with a winning record? The next few games will show if this team has depth.
