WNBA Watch: Isabelle Harrison's Tempo Debut Highlights Standout Week 5 Performances
Week 5 of WNBA play featured a standout season debut and takeover-style scoring bursts for the Toronto Tempo and Las Vegas Aces as both teams maintained their positions near the top of their respective conferences. Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball stars Isabelle Harrison and NaLyssa Smith were both responsible for noteworthy performances as their two squads capped the week with home wins.
Here’s a look at how the two stars contributed in Week 5.
Isabelle Harrison
Isabelle Harrison logged her first minutes for the Tempo on Sunday night and wasted no time winning the approval of Toronto fans. The eighth-year forward recorded 14 points in 17 minutes on the floor as the Tempo downed the Chicago Sky 68-85. She shot 66.7% from the floor and drained both of her 3-point attempts while adding six rebounds, two assists, and a steal.
The outing marked Harrison’s first appearance of the season after sustaining a hand injury in training camp in April. Her double-figure debut scoring performance came in support of Brittney Sykes’ 25-point outing, helping the first-year franchise improve to 6-5 for a third-place position in the Eastern Conference.
