Toronto Tempo suspend Julie Allemand's contract before key road games
Summary

Toronto Tempo guard Julie Allemand's contract has been temporarily suspended as she joins the Belgium national team ahead of the FIBA Women’s World Cup. The decision is procedural and not related to discipline or injury. Allemand, a key starter, has averaged 6.3 points and 5.6 assists this season but will miss three upcoming road games. The Tempo, already eliminated from playoff contention, are facing challenges as they prepare for their next games against the Seattle Storm, Las Vegas Aces, and Phoenix Mercury.
