Enes Kanter Freedom, a former NBA player and current WNBA draft prospect, was ejected from a WNBA game on August 24, 2026, during a match between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. Freedom was wearing a shirt that read "woman, noun, adult human female" when he was confronted by Sky player Natasha Cloud after a timeout was called with 1:22 left in the third quarter.
Video footage shows Cloud approaching Freedom while yelling and pointing at him. As Freedom stood up and moved towards her, security personnel intervened, and a WNBA referee instructed security to remove him from the arena. Following his ejection, Freedom claimed on social media that he was removed for "supporting women."
The WNBA's Fan Code of Conduct states that fans must maintain appropriate behavior and prohibits actions such as attempting to enter the court, which may have contributed to Freedom's ejection. After the game, Cloud did not comment to the media but later posted a message on social media expressing support for transgender individuals.
