Enes Kanter Banned From WNBA Game | Atlanta News

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from a WNBA game after wearing a shirt defining “woman” as an adult human female — sparking a heated confrontation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud, who yelled and pointed at him during a timeout. Security intervened, and Freedom was escorted out, even attempting to rally the crowd. The incident reignites debate over transgender women in the WNBA, especially as Freedom, a U.S. citizen since 2021, has been outspoken on the issue and recently attended a rally supporting similar views. Players reacted differently: teammate Azura Stevens called it a “fan incident,” while Isabelle Marsh backed Cloud, calling her protective and loyal to her team. Cloud later posted a defiant message affirming support for the trans community. This isn’t their first clash — they’ve exchanged social media barbs since 2023. Adding fuel to the fire, both Freedom and Royce White have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, identifying as women, deepening the cultural and athletic tension surrounding gender identity in professional basketball.
