Sky Make Enes Kanter Freedom Announcement After Natasha Cloud Confrontation
The Sky made a major announcement about former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom following his altercation with Natasha Cloud.
Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected and subsequently banned from attending Chicago Sky games indefinitely following a heated altercation with teammate Natasha Cloud during a recent matchup against the Indiana Fever. Sky owner Michael Alter stated that Kanter Freedom's ban would remain in effect unless he could demonstrate in the future that he could abide by the team's rules without posing a threat.
According to Alter, Kanter Freedom's comments during the altercation were characterized as "trash talking" but were enough to provoke Cloud. Though Kanter Freedom did not step onto the court, Alter believed he turned himself into a threat by standing up and approaching a player on the court. Kanter Freedom, a 3rd overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, played for various teams before his career ended.
In recent months, he gained attention for declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft, citing dissatisfaction with the league's transgender participation policy.
