The Baylor family is praying for Andrew Jones and Chameka Scott, who have both been fighting an opponent that isn’t on the basketball court.
On Jan. 10, the family of Texas sophomore guard Andrew Jones announced that he was diagnosed with leukemia. Andrew Jones’ sister is former Baylor guard Alexis Jones.
Andrew has many accolades, including averaging 11.4 points per game as a freshman at Texas. Also as a freshman, Jones played in all 33 games and started 23 of them. He was a serious NBA prospect and went through the NBA Pre-Draft Combine last May, but decided to withdraw his name from the draft pool and return to play at UT.
