I remember Dydek because she was the tallest player ever to play in professional women’s basketball at 7’2″. This is awful news.
Here are the details.
Former WNBA player Margo Dydek has suffered a heart attack and is in a medically induced coma in a Brisbane hospital.
Basketball Australia said Friday that the 37-year-old Poland-born Dydek suffered the heart attack on Thursday. The two-time All-Star collapsed at her home in Brisbane and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Dydek, who is pregnant with her third child, had been working as a coach for the Northside Wizards in the Queensland Basketball League.
No word on what caused the Heart Attack.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Dydek’s family, friends and her unborn child.
