Enes Kanter Freedom Ejected from WNBA Game Following Confrontation

Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from a WNBA game on August 23, 2026, after a confrontation with Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud during a match against the Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Freedom, wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "WOMAN. Noun. Adult human female," yelled at Cloud after she scored in the third quarter. Security intervened as Freedom stepped onto the court, and he was escorted out while displaying his T-shirt to the crowd. The incident follows ongoing discussions regarding the participation of transgender women in women's sports. Freedom later expressed on social media that he was removed for supporting women. Sky coach Tyler Marsh criticized Freedom's actions, stating that attendees should focus on enjoying the game. Marsh also reassured Cloud that she was not a distraction for the team.
