The Toronto Tempo are moving quickly on the free-agent market.
The Tempo have agreed to terms with Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes on two-year max contracts.
Mabrey was the Tempo's unrestricted free agent pick in last Friday's expansion draft, going sixth overall. The Tempo gave her their core designation, which allowed the team exclusive negotiation rights. She signed a two-year, $2.4 million deal.
"Marina plays with a level of confidence and edge that stands out," Tempo general manager Monica said in a press release. "She’s a player who isn't afraid of big moments, can create offence in a variety of ways, and brings a strong competitive presence every game."
The 29-year-old averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and four assists last season with the Connecticut Sun.
Sykes, meanwhile, is the team's first true free-agent signing, snatching her talents from the Seattle Storm.
"Brittney is an elite competitor who impacts winning on both ends of the floor," Wright Rogers said. "Her defensive versatility, toughness, and leadership set a standard, and adding a player of her calibre and all-star experience is a significant step as we continue to build our roster."
The five-foot-nine guard is a two-time steals champ and four-time all-defensive selection. She averaged 14.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, four assists and 1.2 steals last season, splitting time between the Washington Mystics and Storm following a mid-season trade.
The 32-year-old was drafted seventh overall by the Atlanta Dream in 2017.
