At this time the team has not put out a press release or statement about the decision, nor has there been a corresponding roster move.
After an impressive collegiate career at Baylor, during which she was named Big 12 Player of the Year in her senior season, the Fever had high hopes for Cox as a frontcourt partner for Teaira McCowan, who they selected with the No.
She had hoped to make a fresh start this season under better circumstances, but suffered another knee injury in training camp and missed the first four games.
In total, Cox played just 278 minutes over 25 games during her time with the Fever, and averaged 2.6 points and 2.7 rebounds on 38.7 percent shooting.
The Fever are the worst team in the league by some margin, and at 1-15 are on pace to finish with single-digit wins for the fourth time in five seasons.
Since their streak of 12 straight playoff appearances ended in 2017, the Fever have had five top-10 picks, including four lottery selections.
They also let Betnijah Laney go after the 2019 season and have watched her turn into 2020’s Most Improved Player and a potential All-WNBA selection this season.
