Story summary

The Toronto Tempo lost their final two games of the season: first to the Chicago Sky by a score of 97-85, then to the Connecticut Sun in Connecticut's last home game before moving to Houston. These losses could put them in prime position for the top pick in the 2027 WNBA draft. The Tempo have dropped seven straight games and now stand at 11-31. Despite this poor form, their record gives them a high chance of landing one of the top picks in next year's lottery. Teams can't drop more than two spots from where they'd be based on win-loss records alone, so Toronto is guaranteed no worse than a fourth overall pick. This could dramatically alter the future direction of the team as it aims to draft standout college players like Juju Watkins or Hannah Hidalgo.
