Wynn, who missed last season with an Achilles injury, expressed frustration in a social media post about not starting her final game at Thompson-Boling Arena. While she stated this incident was not the sole reason for her departure, it was the 'breaking point' that led her to step away from the program.
Tennessee has struggled recently, losing six consecutive games entering Sunday's matchup against Vanderbilt. Following the loss, head coach Kim Caldwell criticized her team for 'quitting' when things didn't go their way. Wynn, who had played just nine games this season averaging 5.8 minutes, did not enter Sunday's game despite the opportunity late in the fourth quarter.
