The Toronto Tempo have signed Canadian centre Kayla Alexander to a seven-day hardship contract.
Alexander, 35, had spent the past two seasons with Valencia Basket Club in Euro league.
The eighth-overall pick by the San Antonio Silver Stars in the 2013 WNBA Draft, Alexander played 203 games across eight seasons in the league split between San Antonio, Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota.
Alexander’s most recent WNBA season came in 2020 with the Lynx, where she averaged 2.3 points in 16 games.
The Milton, Ont., native has represented Canada in two Olympics (Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024) and helped her country earn silver at the 2019 FIBA AmeriCup.
The Tempo are coming off an 83-75 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night and are back in action Friday against the Dallas Wings at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
