Enes Kanter Freedom removed from Fever-Sky game after sideline confrontation
The former NBA center was ejected from an Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game after a dispute with Chicago guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter.
Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night’s WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky in Indianapolis after an exchange with Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter. He had been seated along the baseline during the game.
According to reports from the arena, Cloud reacted after scoring and directed her attention toward Freedom, who was wearing a black shirt with a message opposing transgender inclusion. Officials then removed Freedom from the game.
The incident drew attention because Freedom has previously criticized the WNBA’s transgender policy. The game itself continued after the confrontation.
The Fever and Sky were meeting as part of the WNBA regular season schedule.
