The Tempo sign C Kamila Borkowska and F Maria Gakdeng to player development contracts

What happened

The Toronto Tempo sign C Kamila Borkowska and F Maria Gakdeng to player development contracts, according to the observed transactions log dated Sep 19. It lands three days after a long-term frontcourt listing, but nothing in the records points to a top-of-rotation role for the newcomer — so its betting relevance runs through the end of the bench and player-prop eligibility, not the game line.

Kamila Borkowska is on the current Tempo roster; PropSports game log shows no regular-season minutes for her.

How it fits

The move is dated three days after a provider injury-feed update (Sep 16) that lists Marina Mabrey (Out, out for the season; feed updated Sep 16). The transactions log does not give a reason for the signing, so the link is timing, not a stated cause.

Where the minutes are: the healthy forwards and centers who played in the Tempo’s last five games were Laura Juskaite (29.4 min), Isabelle Harrison (26 min) and Teonni Key (20.6 min). The three lightest-used players in that window averaged 18.8, 18 and 10.6 minutes.

The observed injury report currently lists Kamila Borkowska (Out), Maria Gakdeng (Out), Maria Conde (Out), Temi Fagbenle (Out), Marina Mabrey (Out), Aneesah Morrow (Out) and Brittney Sykes (Out) for the Tempo.

The Toronto Tempo are 11-33, the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, 19 games back, 1-9 over their last 10.
