WNBA’s Sky Ban Kanter Freedom From Arena Indefinitely
Sky owner Michael Alter denounced the actions of the former NBA player.
Enes Kanter Freedom, the 11-year NBA veteran who recently declared his identity as a woman, has been banned from attending Chicago Sky games indefinitely. The decision was made by the owner of the team, Michael Alter, who denounced Freedom's actions at a recent game. Alter stated that Freedom's purpose of attending the game was to provoke the audience and draw attention to himself.
The altercation between Freedom and Sky guard Natasha Cloud occurred in the third quarter of the game, where Freedom started talking to Cloud, leading to a trash-talking exchange. After Cloud scored a layup, she turned to Freedom, who then stood up, raised his arms, and approached her. Security immediately restrained Freedom and removed him from the arena.
Despite Freedom claiming he was invited by the team, Alter stated that their partnership had ended years ago and that Freedom was not welcomed by the Sky. The league does not plan to impose a league-wide ban on Freedom.
