Enes Kanter Freedom ejected from Fever-Sky game after being confronted by Natasha Cloud
The Sky said the former NBA player was a potential threat and banned him from Wintrust Arena after security removed him from the game.
- On Sunday, former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was escorted from Wintrust Arena in Chicago after a verbal altercation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud during a game against the Indiana Fever.
- Freedom sat courtside wearing a shirt defining "woman, noun, adult human female," which reportedly angered Cloud, an LGBTQ+ advocate who later posted on Threads, "To every trans kid/person, you are apart of my community & tribe."
- In a Fox News interview, Freedom claimed Cloud approached him after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham hit a shot, allegedly yelling, "She's not gonna sleep with you."
- The WNBA Fan Code of Conduct guarantees fans the right "to expect an environment where there is No Space For Hate," while the league stated it denounces "bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others."
- Broader tensions persist as Freedom and former NBA player Royce White challenge current WNBA eligibility rules, which restrict participation to women without specific gender identity guidelines.
