Key Points:

  • The Chicago Sky have banned Enes Kanter Freedom from attending their home games after he was ejected for a confrontation during a loss to the Indiana Fever, with owner Michael Alter stating Freedom must prove he can abide by arena rules before being allowed back.
  • The incident occurred when Freedom, wearing a shirt with the slogan "WOMAN noun. adult human female," was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud, leading to his removal from the game for being provocative.
  • Freedom and another former NBA player, Royce White, have declared for the WNBA draft identifying as women, but sources indicate they are not eligible, highlighting ongoing debates about transgender participation in the league.
  • The WNBA's collective bargaining agreement limits participation to women but lacks specific language addressing gender identity or sex assigned at birth, and no transgender women have yet played in the league.
  • The Sky are also investigating an incident where sex toys were thrown onto the court during a recent game, with the team identifying the individuals involved and working to prevent similar occurrences.
