Kia Nurse is signing with the Tempo, according to a report from @chelsealeite.bsky.social

Very cool!

(Also awesome to see Chelsea breaking news. Must-follow for Tempo fans.)

Kia is such an incredible ambassador for and representation of women’s sports and basketball in Canada. As if the first Canadian player on the WNBA’s first Canadian team could’ve been anybody else. A slam dunk move. Well done to everyone involved (and to @chelsealeite.bsky.social for breaking it).

🎥 A finalized Protected List won’t be until Sunday. If Chelsea were the GM of the Toronto Tempo, which player might she target based on a hypothetical list?

LOL you never know with me, honestly 😂

Left this recording feeling lighter. Hope yall enjoy!!!

The WNBA dropping their schedule today is super confusing Approach this schedule release with a little bit of caution, WNBA fans.

Come on over friend!! That’s also one of the Tempo games at the big arena so it’s gonna be a good one!! Would be happy to welcome you :)

The only two undefeated teams left are No. 1 UConn and No. 5 Vanderbilt.

Poll Ponderings by @chelsealeite.bsky.social: bit.ly/3YNA12Q

Will the Toronto Raptors do anything at the trade deadline? Historically, the Raptors approach the trade deadline with caution… but it’s a new era.

“Bobby Webster went to the Masai Ujiri School of How to Operate an NBA team, and his tactics are likely similar to those of his predecessor and mentor. I wouldn’t expect Bobby to do much…”

The latest from @chelsealeite.bsky.social on where the Raptors are as Feb approaches

"This week, something clicked — I realized how exhausting, frustrating, and emotional it is to see these women have to fight tooth and nail for the most basic of benefits. It’s a reflection — and reminder — of the emotional exhaustion that being a woman in our society creates."

Chelsea cooked here.

Thanks Bryan!

Watching even the WNBA devalue women is incredibly dispiriting As a woman, watching these WNBA CBA negotiations is incredibly frustrating… and familiar.

Sat in the rage of these CBA negotiations today to figure out why it’s been so emotionally taxing to talk about. My reflections are below ⬇️
