Mabrey is a walking bucket. Known for her "anywhere on the court" range and her "crash-out" competitive energy, she is the player opposing coaches have to circle in red on the scouting report. If the game is on the line, the ball is in her hands.

Career Highlights: 2026 Expansion Draft Pick #6 (Toronto Tempo) Β· NCAA Champion (2018, Notre Dame) Β· Notre Dame All-Time 3PT Leader (274 made threes) Β· All-EuroLeague Second Team (2023) Β· Multiple 30-point WNBA games including a 34-point explosion vs. Atlanta in 2025.

Fun Facts: Marina's sister Michaela was an assistant coach at Notre Dame while Marina was still playing there. She is one of the inaugural players in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league. Off the court she runs the "Mabrey Money" apparel brand. Her friendship with Julie Allemand β€” documented through viral TikToks β€” means Toronto's backcourt chemistry is already at a 10/10 before training camp even starts. To channel her competitive fire, she famously used a "crash out jar" during the 2025 season.

Mabrey is the perfect Option A for an expansion team. She thrives in transition and isn't afraid of the big stage.

Volume Scoring: Averaged double digits in nearly every WNBA season, including 14.4 PPG in 2025.

Clutch Gene: A high-gravity shooter β€” when she's on the floor, defenses stay glued to her, which opens the paint for Nyara Sabally.

Playmaking Growth: Scorer first, but her passing has surged to a career-high 4.0 APG last season.
