Royce White Brings His WNBA Draft Campaign Courtside in a Blonde Wig: ‘The Queen Has Arrived’

Royce White made his WNBA Draft campaign a reality in an unexpected way, attending an Indiana Fever game in a blonde wig and sitting courtside. The former NBA first-round pick made the trip to Indianapolis for the Fever's August 28 matchup against the Connecticut Sun. White shared a photo from the game on social media and declared, "The Kweeeen has arrived," according to PEOPLE.

His appearance came after he submitted a declaration seeking entry into the 2027 WNBA Draft, arguing that he meets the age and remaining-college-eligibility provisions in the league's collective bargaining agreement. White stated that he was there to scout the competition, support the league, and watch the game.
