WNBA’s true feelings on Enes Kanter, Royce White Draft declaration revealed by reporter
The WNBA isn’t fazed by former NBA players Enes Kanter and Royce White declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft. The recent debate on trans athletes playing in the WNBA took a surprising turn when former NBA center Enes Kanter declared his intentions to play in the WNBA through the 2027 Draft.
The WNBA has made it clear that they are unconcerned with former NBA players Enes Kanter and Royce White declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft. Khristina Williams, a Forbes women's basketball insider, stated that the league does not view the declarations as a serious threat and instead believes they are attempts to sow division and chaos by "bad-faith actors."
Kanter and White have vowed to pursue legal action if they are denied the opportunity to play in the WNBA. The WNBA's policy on trans athletes remains unclear, as their Collective Bargaining Agreement has not specified any parameters for eligibility. This ambiguity puts pressure on the league to provide clarity on who can participate in the WNBA.
Both Kanter and White, whose professional careers in the NBA did not reach their full potential, now face an uncertain future in the WNBA.
