BRISBANE, Australia — 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. She 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. She was the No. 1 pick in the 1998 WNBA draft by the Utah Starzz. She also played for San Antonio, Connecticut and Los Angeles. The 7-foot-2 Dydek was once said to be the tallest active professional female basketball player in the world.
