Big 12 WBB: Baylor's Kim Mulkey welcomes grandson; Texas forward Joyner Holmes has ankle surgery; TCU's Amy Okonkwo interns with Wings

Just as the Baylor women's basketball program underwent a lot of change this offseason, so too did its leader of 19 years, Kim Mulkey.

Mulkey had spinal fusion surgery in mid-August to treat pain she was experiencing in her neck, shoulder and arm. And then just last week, she welcomed her first grandson.

Mulkey's daughter, Makenzie Fuller, a former basketball player at Baylor who has previously worked for her mother's staff, gave birth to a baby boy, Kannon Reid, Friday evening.

It was an especially emotional moment for Mulkey and her family, as Fuller and her husband, Clay, a former Baylor football player, lost their unborn daughter last November due to two life-threatening birth defects.
