Former LSU basketball player Alexis Morris was waived shortly after getting drafted by the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.
The move came as a surprise to Morris, who was drafted with the 22nd overall pick. She took to Twitter to voice her frustration, saying veterans need to know when to pass the torch.
She’s now apologizing for those comments.
“To the veterans of the WNBA, please accept my sincerest apologies,” Morris wrote.
She went on to say, “I will continue to work hard in the hopes of joining you all one day soon.”
“I ask for your forgiveness and support as I attempt to raise more awareness about some of the issues the league is facing.”

Morris began her career with [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] at Baylor five years ago. Morris was dismissed from the team but reunited with Mulkey at LSU after getting her career straightened out.
Morris led LSU’s backcourt during the national title run. The guard averaged 15.2 points per game in her two years with the Tigers.
