WNBA fans were already surprised to see Enes Kanter Freedom attend the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game with courtside seats.
Kanter is trying to declare for the 2027 Draft in an attempt to force the league to change their eligibility criteria and issue a blanket ban on trans women competing in the WNBA.
His appearance at the Fever vs. Sky game created tension among the players, with one Sky player screaming at Kanter mid-game, leading to his ejection from the arena.
Enes Kanter’s words with Natasha Cloud lead to an instant ejectionAfter Sky guard Natasha Cloud scored a tough layup, she can be seen yelling in Kanter’s direction, prompting the 33-year-old former NBA player to stand up and egg her on, which led to his ejection.
Kanter declared for the draft a couple of weeks ago and has repeatedly stated his intent to go through with it and take legal action if the WNBA cannot provide him a good reason why he cannot play.
As part of his current gimmick, Kanter is ‘identifying’ as a woman to get into the WNBA. He even made jokes about using the women’s restroom at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena at halftime.
Cloud and quite a few WNBA stars are rightfully upset at Kanter’s recent actions and attempts at trivialising the league.
The WNBA has officially released a statement addressing Kanter and another former NBA player, Royce White, declaring for the draft, dismissing them as bad-faith actors while not naming them directly.

“Name a person with less self respect than Enes Kanter…” said one shocked fan.
“”It’s sad that Enes Kanter was clearly there to ragebait and it actually worked. Like let’s be real… You’re a biological woman crashing out while you’re in the middle of a game cuz this dude is wearing a pro woman shirt. We are living in some crazy times lol,” said a fan.
“So she instigated it and he gets ejected?” said one fan in Kanter’s defense.
“Enes Kanter is so brave for waking up every morning and not feeling overwhelming embarrassment,” said another fan.
Kanter created a scene while exiting the arena, as the Sky fell to a 113-90 loss behind a historic Caitlin Clark performance (37 PTS, 10 AST), while Cloud had 16 points, four rebounds, and seven assists.
