Enes Kanter Freedom Ejected from WNBA Game After Altercation with Natasha Cloud
Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from his courtside seat during the Indiana Fever's 113-90 victory over the Chicago Sky on Sunday following a verbal altercation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud.
The incident occurred late in the third quarter after Cloud scored a basket, prompting her to confront Kanter Freedom. Security and officials intervened as Cloud's teammates attempted to separate her from the situation. An official ordered Kanter Freedom's removal, and he was escorted away while facing boos from the crowd.
Cloud did not address the media post-game but met with team and league security. The altercation comes amid a broader debate within the WNBA regarding transgender athlete participation, highlighted by recent comments from Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Kanter Freedom has expressed interest in joining the WNBA, claiming a female identity, while the league currently lacks a public policy on transgender players.
