WNBA Fans Left Uneasy After Marina Mabrey Makes Season-Ending Announcement

The Tempo said Mabrey is expected to recover fully and will not need surgery after averaging 20.8 points in 32 games.

  • On Wednesday, the Toronto Tempo announced All-Star guard Marina Mabrey will miss the remainder of the 2026 WNBA season due to a right adductor injury, though she will not require surgery.
  • Mabrey averaged a career-high 20.8 points and earned her first All-Star selection in her eighth season before being sidelined since an August 18 game against the Indiana Fever.
  • Since a 9-9 start, the expansion Tempo has lost 20 of its past 22 games, culminating in playoff elimination last month before closing its inaugural home schedule Friday against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
  • The Tempo holds 24 percent odds to secure the top 2027 WNBA Draft pick, which could bolster the backcourt alongside Mabrey and guard Brittney Sykes, trailing only the Connecticut Sun.
  • Despite the premature conclusion to her season, Mabrey remains a foundational building block for Toronto and is expected to be in peak physical condition ahead of 2027 as the franchise pursues contention.
