Almost a year after getting drafted, one of the top women’s basketball prospects coming out of Texas is no longer on a professional team.

Former Baylor and Flower Mound star Lauren Cox, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2020 WNBA draft, was waived by the Indiana Fever on Sunday.

Cox has had a difficult start to her professional career since leaving Baylor. The 6-foot-4 forward’s WNBA debut was delayed last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cox has Type 1 diabetes, which puts her at higher risk of experiencing COVID-19 complications.

In one and half seasons with the Fever, Cox appeared in 25 games, averaging 2.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game.

During her senior season at Baylor, Cox took two months off from basketball after recovering from a torn meniscus and bone bruise in her knee, but she was a first-team All-American in 2020 after averaging 12.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.7 blocks as a senior for a 28-2 Baylor team. She led the Lady Bears to a national championship win in 2019.
