Enes Kanter Freedom Ejected from Fever-Sky Game After He Was Confronted by Sky's Cloud

CHICAGO (AP) — Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after Sky guard Natasha Cloud yelled and pointed in his direction late in the third quarter.

Freedom was sitting along the baseline. He had on a black shirt that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female."

The Fever called for a timeout after Cloud scored inside with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud then went to confront Kanter, who held his arms and took one step on the court. Security and a handful of Sky players stepped in between the two before the dispute escalated.

Freedom then was escorted from the court area. He displayed his shirt as he walked toward the lobby. He had a conversation with a group of police officers before departing Wintrust Arena.

Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft this month, saying they identify as women.
