Enes Kanter Ejected From Fever-Sky After Heated Confrontation With WNBA Player
Wearing an "adult human female" shirt, Enes Kanter got into an explosive argument with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud on Sunday.
Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, 34, caused a stir during a recent WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky. Kanter Freedom declared for the 2027 WNBA draft after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham expressed concerns about transgender athletes playing in girls and women's sports. To make a statement, Kanter Freedom entered Sunday's game courtside, wearing a T-shirt that read: "WOMAN noun: adult human female."
However, his presence did not last long after the third quarter when he found himself in an heated exchange with Sky guard Natasha Cloud.
As Cloud approached Kanter Freedom during a timeout, he stood up and advanced toward her. Security quickly intervened, escorting Kanter Freedom out of the arena after a verbal altercation. Kanter Freedom took to X to share his frustration, stating, "I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA! 🇺🇸."
Following the incident, Cloud chose not to speak with the media but met with team and WNBA security, per CBS Sports. Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh explained Cloud's absence, emphasizing her dedication to protecting her teammates and expressing solidarity with Kanter Freedom.
