Toronto Tempo Acquires Aneesah Morrow from Connecticut Sun Ahead of WNBA Trade Deadline

With less than 48 hours remaining until the 2026 WNBA trade deadline, the Toronto Tempo has made a significant move by acquiring forward Aneesah Morrow from the Connecticut Sun. In exchange, the Sun will receive the rights to Maria Kliundikova and a second-round draft pick in 2028.

This trade indicates that the Tempo, despite a challenging season with a 1-9 record in their last ten games, is still aiming for success in their inaugural year. They currently sit five and a half games behind the final playoff spot. Morrow, who was selected seventh overall in the 2025 draft, has shown promise as a strong rebounder, averaging 11.6 points and 8.6 rebounds this season.

The Sun, now in 14th place, will not benefit from this trade in the current season, as Kliundikova is not participating in the WNBA this year. The franchise is facing challenges as it prepares to relocate to Houston and rebrand after this season. Morrow's departure leaves the Sun with limited depth, especially with key players sidelined due to injuries.
