Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was removed from Sunday night’s WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky due to an altercation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. The incident occurred late in the third quarter, with Cloud yelling and pointing at Freedom, who was sitting along the baseline wearing a shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.”
The Fever called for a timeout after Cloud scored with 1:22 left in the quarter. Cloud approached Freedom, who held his arms and took a step onto the court. Security and several Sky players intervened before the situation escalated, leading to Freedom’s ejection and escort from the arena. He displayed his shirt as he walked towards the lobby and had a conversation with police officers.
Freedom and fellow former NBA player Royce White declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft that month, stating they identify as women.
