Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White Declared Ineligible for WNBA Draft

Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, both former NBA players, have been deemed ineligible for the WNBA draft, as reported by a source on Monday. The reasons for this decision were not disclosed.

Despite their declarations to enter the draft, the WNBA has not made any public statements regarding their eligibility. The league has recently faced discussions about the participation of transgender women, although no such player has competed in the WNBA to date.

Freedom, who stands at six-foot-10 and weighs 250 pounds, played 11 seasons in the NBA, while White appeared in three games. Freedom was ejected from a recent game after an incident involving WNBA player Natasha Cloud, during which he displayed a shirt with a message about women.
