Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was confronted by a hostile crowd outside the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky WNBA game in Chicago on Sunday. He attended wearing a shirt defining "woman" and had declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft. Security shielded the 6-foot-10 veteran as fans swarmed him, with one flipping him off and another mocking his career. Freedom posted video of the incident, captioning it "We are getting attacked before the @WNBA game in Chicago." Freedom declared for the draft to challenge the league's gender-eligibility rules, arguing biological men could qualify by identifying as women. He previously lost his NBA career after criticizing China's human rights record.
