Agrees to deal with Toronto Mabrey and the Tempo agreed to a two-year max contract Friday, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mabrey will get a fresh start in 2026 during the Tempo's inaugural campaign. She's always been a productive player when available and figures to be a go-to option in 2026 alongside Brittney Sykes. Mabrey shot only 36.7 percent from the field last season, her worst mark since her rookie campaign, but she was over 40 percent in each of the previous six campaigns.

Extended core qualifying offer The Tempo extended a core qualifying offer to Mabrey on Tuesday.

Impact Mabrey was selected by Toronto in the 2026 WNBA Expansion Draft and is set to receive a one-year supermax deal. However, the two sides could still negotiate a sign-and-trade elsewhere. The 29-year-old struggled with efficiency across 35 regular-season appearances (34 starts) for Connecticut in 2025, during which she averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.9 triples while shooting 36.7 percent from the field and 27.0 percent from downtown in 31.5 minutes per showing. The 5-foot-11 guard is likely to play a lead role for the Tempo in 2026.

Heading to Toronto Mabrey was selected by the Tempo in the first round of the WNBA Expansion Draft on Friday, Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports reports.

Impact Mabrey has been productive in recent years while playing for the Wings, Sky and Sun, and she should immediately handle a prominent role for Toronto in 2026. Across 35 regular-season appearances (34 starts) with Connecticut last year, the 29-year-old averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 31.5 minutes per game. While the Tempo will still be able to make additions to their roster via free agency and the rookie draft later this month, and Mabrey is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent, but assuming she remains with Toronto, she should have the opportunity to take on a leading role with her new team.

Chips in 14 points in blowout loss Mabrey tallied 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 94-70 loss to the Lynx
