Enes Kanter Ejected From WNBA Game After Clash With Natasha Cloud

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a confrontation with player Natasha Cloud. The incident follows Kanter's recent announcement that he would "declare" for the 2027 WNBA Draft, a move widely seen as mocking the league's consideration of transgender player policies. Chicago Sky coach Tyler Marsh defended Cloud, stating the team embraces her as a protector of those who need protection. The Fever won 113-90, with Caitlin Clark scoring 37 points, and the Sky's loss eliminated them from playoff contention. Clark said she didn't see the incident. The controversy began after Fever player Sophie Cunningham made comments against allowing transgender players in the WNBA, which sparked a culture war debate involving right-wing media figures. Former NBA player Royce White also announced he would "declare" for the draft, and the league has formed a task force to address the issue.
