Former LSU star Alexis Morris was not happy with getting waived from the Connecticut Sun.
After their May 10 preseason meetup with the New York Liberty, where the Sun walked away with a 63-57 victory against the superteam, head coach Stephanie White hit her first round of roster cuts.
In the first wave was Morris, as well as fellow Sun draft picks Ashten Prechtel and Diamond Battles. Morris took her frustration public, sharing tweets that disrespected the veterans of the league when she called for them to retire and make room for the rookies.
Thursday, Morris issued an apology to the WNBA veterans she had lashed out at on her Instagram. Some were on her side, others were not so much.
