Tempo sign Canadian Kayla Alexander to second seven-day hardship contract

Kayla Alexander and the Toronto Tempo have agreed to a second seven-day hardship contract.

The 35-year-old centre from Milton, Ont., hadn’t played in the WNBA for six years before joining Toronto one week ago.

A hardship contract allows a team to temporarily exceed its roster and salary cap limits to sign a replacement player when it has fewer than 10 available active players. 

The Tempo are currently without guard Brittney Sykes (left plantar fascia), forward Kiki Rice (left ankle sprain) and centre Temi Fagbenle (concussion).

Alexander is averaging 1.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in two games with Toronto this season.

The Tempo also announced that their game against the Minnesota Lynx on July 30 at Scotiabank Arena has been moved to an 8 p.m. start time and will be broadcast on Prime Video.
