Pregame arrivals have become an increasingly popular part of the leagues coverage, allowing players to display their personalities before turning their attention to basketball. Unfortunately for Toronto, Harrisons night was limited to watching from the sideline.The veteran forward was attempting to avoid missing a second consecutive game because of the knee issue, but the Tempo elected not to risk further aggravation.No timetable was immediately provided for Harrisons return.Harrisons absence is a major loss for TorontoToronto has been without one of its most productive and efficient players at a difficult point in the season. Harrison entered Thursday averaging 13.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks across 16 appearances. She has shot an impressive 51.8 percent from the field and 44.1 percent from beyond the arc.Those numbers represent one of the strongest seasons of Harrisons WNBA career. The former Tennessee standout was playing particularly well before the knee soreness emerged. She erupted for 26 points and 11 rebounds in only 22 minutes during Torontos July 20 loss to the Las Vegas Aces.Harrison made eight of her 11 field-goal attempts in that game, including three of six shots from 3-point range. She also converted nine of her 10 free throws. Her combination of size, rebounding and outside shooting gives Toronto a dimension that is difficult to replace. Temi Fagbenle and Teonni Key were expected to receive additional opportunities with Harrison unavailable.MORE:Portland Fires best win of difficult season came against Caitlin Clark, Fever ahead of Friday rematchTempo face difficult test without HarrisonHarrisons absence came at an especially inconvenient time for the Tempo.
