After admitting to a bit of FOMO, Isabelle Harrison doesn't wish to miss out on any more action this season.
Harrison aims to give the Toronto Tempo another boost on Wednesday when the expansion club hosts the Connecticut Sun in a Commissioner's Cup game.
Harrison scored 14 points in her season debut on Sunday afternoon, fueling Toronto to its third win in four outings with an 85-68 victory over the Chicago Sky.
Sidelined since training camp due to a dislocated thumb, Harrison didn't look the worse for wear by making 6 of 9 shots from the floor while also grabbing six rebounds for the Tempo (6-5, 1-1 Commissioner Cup).
'I felt like I was a coach for a little too long, I was getting a little FOMO (fear of missing out),' Harrison said of her time on the sideline. '(I wanted) to just be out here with the girls, and just be a part of the process of building.'
Said Toronto guard Brittney Sykes: 'It's a testament to her as a human being. She was out really early in the season, and was never apart from us.'
Sykes poured in 25 points on Sunday to boost her season average to a career-high 20.1 points per game.
While the Tempo are ascending in the standings, the Sun (2-11, 0-3 CC) find themselves in the cellar following losses in three straight games.
Aaliyah Edwards and Olivia Nelson-Ododa each scored a season-high 15 points and Saniya Rivers added 12 in Connecticut's 89-80 home setback to the New York Liberty on Monday.
The shorthanded Sun were without center Brittney Griner (rib) and forward Aneesah Morrow (left leg), and their absences contributed to the team getting outrebounded by a 42-28 margin.
'I think with us just having numbers down and people down, it's just next-man-up mentality,' Nelson-Ododa said, per CT Insider. 'I think that was our focus tonight. As a team, as a collective, it's to come out, step up for one another, and really compete in this game.'
Connecticut did itself no favors from the free-throw line, making just 13 of 23 attempts. The Sun are converting a league-worst 67.3% of their free-throw attempts on the season.
Morrow collected 21 points, seven rebounds and three steals in Connecticut's 83-78 victory over Toronto in a preseason game on April 29.
