Former NBA player was ejected from Fever-Sky game after player yells at Enes Kanter Freedom
Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from the Indiana Fever's game against the Chicago Sky. Here's what we know.
On Sunday night, Enes Kanter Freedom, a 34-year-old former NBA player, was ejected from the Indiana Fever's game against the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. The third-quarter altercation began when Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud started yelling at Freedom, who was seated on the baseline wearing a "Woman" T-shirt. Cloud was subsequently restrained by teammate DiJonai Carrington and Fever security.
Freedom was escorted off the court amid loud boos from the crowd, where he briefly spoke with security before walking away, still wearing the T-shirt. Freedom has previously expressed support for fellow former NBA player Royce White's claim to be considered for the WNBA draft. The league has stated that they view claims of transgender players as "bad faith" and noted that there are no known transgender players in the WNBA.
The incident comes amid ongoing debates and protests at various WNBA arenas, with some crowds cheering for Freedom and others booing.
