Tennessee guard Kaiya Wynn announced she is stepping away from the Lady Vol program after reaching a breaking point over not starting on senior day. In a post on X, Wynn expressed frustration that she was asked to enter a game with 15 seconds left while losing, marking her final appearance in Thompson-Boling.
Wynn missed all of last season with an Achilles injury but played in just nine games this year, averaging only 5.8 minutes per contest. Prior to the injury, she was a solid reserve. The team is currently struggling with a 2-9 record in its last 11 games, and Wynn reportedly declined to enter a late game against Vanderbilt.
