Enes Kanter Freedom Ejected from WNBA Game After Confrontation with Natasha Cloud

Enes Kanter Freedom, wearing a shirt with "WOMAN. Noun. Adult human female." was ejected from the WNBA game between Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a confrontation with Natasha Cloud. The incident occurred late in the third quarter when Cloud approached Freedom, who was sitting along the baseline, and started yelling and pointing at him. Security and Sky players intervened, leading to Freedom's ejection. Freedom, who has declared himself eligible for the WNBA draft stating he identifies as a woman, was escorted out while engaging with the crowd and later with police officers. The WNBA has no transgender players and its collective bargaining agreement lacks specific language on gender identity. Coach Tyler Marsh supported Cloud, saying she stands for protecting the team and those in need. The debate on transgender women in women's sports continues, with Freedom and another former NBA player, Royce White, seeking to join the WNBA.
