Set The Tempo State of the Franchise: Toronto Tempo Eliminated From Playoffs + 2027 WNBA Draft Outlook

The Toronto Tempo’s inaugural season will not include playoff basketball.

In this episode of Set The Tempo, Tyler Conium steps away from the usual postgame format for a full state of the franchise episode after the Tempo were officially eliminated from playoff contention following their loss to the Washington Mystics.

Toronto sits at 10-25, the third-worst record in the WNBA, after once hovering around .500 earlier in the season. But this season has never been easy to evaluate because the Tempo have dealt with injuries all year long, never once having a clean injury report.

Tyler breaks down what went wrong, what still went right, who is part of the future core, and why the 2027 WNBA Draft Lottery could completely change the direction of this franchise.
