What happened: Toronto began canvassing the market at the start of the season, according to Annie Costabile. The Connecticut approach came earlier; the Los Angeles proposal was more recent.

Why it matters: Injuries to Isabelle Harrison and Temi Fagbenle have thinned the frontcourt. Toronto wants a long-term post to complement Kiki Rice, Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes.

By the numbers: Cameron Brink is averaging 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds in fewer than 20 minutes per game, with one start in 2026. Aaliyah Edwards is averaging 9.4 points and 3.8 rebounds.

What to watch: Watch whether Toronto finds another trade partner before the Aug. 2 deadline or keeps its future first-round pick.
