Cloud, 34, yelled and pointed at Kanter, 34, who was seated along the baseline wearing a shirt reading "WOMAN noun. adult human female." Security and Sky players intervened, and Kanter was escorted from the court area after stepping onto the floor. The incident occurred amid ongoing debates about transgender women in the WNBA. Kanter, who declared himself eligible for the WNBA draft, joined a rally supporting Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who opposes transgender participation in women's sports.
