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 a game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. Kanter Freedom, who has expressed interest in the 2027 WNBA Draft, was removed from the game after a confrontation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud. The incident began when Cloud began yelling at Kanter Freedom, who was seated on the baseline wearing a "Woman" T-shirt.
The WNBA has denounced such claims as "bad faith" and maintains that there are no transgender players in the league. The incident sparked debate about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports, with some fans booing Kanter Freedom and others cheering for Sophie Cunningham, a Fever player who supports the stance against transgender women in women's sports. Kanter Freedom was escorted off the court to loud boos from the crowd.
