Won't play Wednesday Rice (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus Connecticut.

Impact Rice is sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a Grade 2 left ankle sprain. Her next chance to play comes Friday, when the Tempo visit the Mystics. Julie Allemand drew her fourth start of the season in Sunday's win over the Sky in Rice's stead and should continue to be more involved Wednesday.

Not playing Sunday Rice (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sky.

Impact The absence doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that she was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain that she sustained during Wednesday's loss against the Liberty. Her next chance to play is this coming Wednesday against the Sun, though a clear recovery timeline has yet to be announced by the Tempo. Julie Allemand and Kia Nurse should both see an uptick in playing time for as long as Rice is out of action.

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Rice suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Liberty, Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com reports.

Impact Rice is set to be re-evaluated over the course of the next few days. The team is not ready to reveal a timeline for her return at this point, though it would seem unlikely that she'll be healthy enough to give it a go in Toronto's next matchup Sunday against the Sky. If Rice can't go Sunday, look for Julie Allemand to see an uptick in minutes.

Using crutches after loss Wednesday Rice (undisclosed) finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Wednesday's 97-82 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Rice reached the double-digit scoring mark in her last eight regular-season games ahead of the meeting with the Liberty. The 22-year-old fell short of that mark Wednesday, though the bigger concern now is her health, considering she suffered an undisclosed injury in this contest. Rice was observed using crutches after the game, Khristina Williams of MSG Network reports. She will presumably undergo testing in the coming days, with the team likely providing an update on her condition at that time. If Rice misses time moving ahead, Maria Conde and Julie Allemand are candidates to take her place in the starting lineup.

Rice made her presence felt defensively with a season-high four steals, and her plus-24 point differential was second only to Laura Juskaite (plus-25).

Another solid showing Saturday Rice finished with 19 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 30 minutes in Saturday's 99-80 loss to Portland.

Impact Rice came off the bench in Toronto's first three regular-season contests. Since then, she has logged four consecutive starts, and Saturday's performance tied her highest-scoring mark of the 2026 campaign thus far. The 22-year-old isn't a lock to stay in the starting lineup moving ahead, although she's certainly made a case to keep her spot in the rotation based on how well she's played.
