Enes Kanter Freedom alleges WNBA star made Sophie Cunningham comment before confrontation
'She's not going to sleep with you" - Enes Kanter Freedom opens up about confrontation with WNBA star Natasha Cloud.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky, 113-90, on Sunday night at Wintrust Arena. Enes Kanter Freedom, the former NBA star, was in attendance and reportedly sparked a court-side confrontation with Sky star Natasha Cloud. Kanter Freedom alleges that Cloud made a derogatory comment about Fever star Sophie Cunningham before the altercation escalated.
According to Kanter Freedom, he celebrated Cunningham's three-pointer, which was the only basket she made in the game, and then Cloud confronted him, saying, "She's not gonna sleep with you." Kanter Freedom, a vocal critic of the league's stance on transgender athletes, responded by stating that Cloud's language was inappropriate for a WNBA athlete.
The incident led to Kanter Freedom being escorted from the arena. Cloud has not yet commented on the situation, but it remains to be seen if the league will take any action against Kanter Freedom following the incident.
