Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a verbal altercation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. He was seated courtside wearing a shirt reading "WOMAN noun. adult human female." Cloud shouted at Kanter Freedom during a late third-quarter timeout, with security separating them before he was escorted out. Sky coach Tyler Marsh said Cloud was concerned about being a distraction, while Fever coach Stephanie White called the incident "a social media thing." Kanter Freedom, who declared himself eligible for the WNBA draft, has been vocal in the debate sparked by Fever guard Sophie Cunningham's comments on transgender athletes. The WNBA's collective bargaining agreement states only women are eligible, with no public policy on transgender eligibility.
