About Monica Wright Rogers
Monica Wright Rogers is the first General Manager of the Toronto Tempo, a WNBA expansion franchise, and a two-time WNBA champion as a player.
Wright Rogers starred at Virginia before the Minnesota Lynx took her second overall in the 2010 WNBA Draft, where she made the All-Rookie team. She won WNBA championships with the Lynx in 2011 and 2013, playing a key bench role, before a knee injury and a 2015 trade to Seattle. After a seven-year playing career, she moved into coaching and front-office work — including assistant-coaching roles at Virginia and Liberty University, a stint as the NBA's Elite Basketball Women's Operations Lead in the league office, and most recently assistant general manager of the Phoenix Mercury. In February 2025 she was hired as the first GM of the Toronto Tempo, charged with hiring a head coach and building the inaugural roster.
