Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after being confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter. 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 out of Wintrust Arena after briefly stepping onto the court. 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 recently voiced opposition to transgender athletes in women's sports.
