Natasha Cloud addresses incident with ‘irrelevant person’ Enes Kanter over anti-trans athlete debate

Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud discussed the incident involving Enes Kanter during a home game against the Indiana Fever. Kanter was ejected in the third quarter and subsequently banned from future Sky games after Cloud engaged in trash-talk and Kanter responded by standing up and spreading his arms out. Cloud refused to acknowledge Kanter by name in her interview, focusing instead on issues that impact women and children.

She defended the rights of trans individuals, asserting that they pose less of a threat to women compared to other groups who have exploited the WNBA for political purposes. Cloud defended the Sky's decision to ban Kanter, expressing hope that the WNBA would follow suit to demonstrate a true commitment to protecting female athletes.
