Natasha Cloud dismisses Enes Kanter Freedom as Sky ban him from home games

New York (AP) — On Saturday, Chicago Sky star Natasha Cloud dismissed Enes Kanter Freedom when discussing his ban from home games. She refused to dwell on former NBA player Freedom, instead focusing on pressing issues women face in 2026. These issues include domestic violence, sexual assault, and food insecurities. Earlier, Cloud had an altercation with Freedom during a home game against the Indiana Fever.

Freedom, who is among players considering the WNBA draft, was sitting with a sign that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female." After Cloud scored, she confronted Freedom and was subsequently banned from attending future Chicago home games by team owner Michael Alter. Cloud supported the decision, stating it protects players and emphasizes the importance of addressing real concerns. The WNBA has been a topic of controversy regarding transgender women's participation.
