Enes Kanter Freedom detailed a fiery confrontation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud that led to his ejection from a WNBA game, claiming Cloud initiated the altercation with vulgar remarks and profanity after he celebrated a teammate’s shot. Freedom, who was sitting courtside in a shirt defining ‘woman,’ stated Cloud approached him aggressively, yelling, ‘She’s not gonna sleep with you,’ to which Freedom responded he was merely supporting his friend and defending women. Video captured Cloud pointing and yelling at Freedom, who stood up and took a step onto the court as security intervened. Freedom expressed shock at Cloud’s use of ‘F-bombs’ in front of young fans, believing his shirt was a catalyst for her reaction and that her subsequent social media post supporting the trans community was a response to his stance. Despite being escorted out by security without a clear explanation, Freedom insists the incident was not related to transgender issues or his own intentions to enter the WNBA draft, but rather stemmed from Cloud’s reaction to his shirt and his support for player Sophie Cunningham, who has faced controversy over her views on transgender athletes. The encounter has only fueled Freedom’s determination to pursue his WNBA aspirations, stating he is more motivated than ever to compete in the league and challenge its eligibility standards, while also revealing he has faced death threats and abusive messages since announcing his plans, but remains committed to his mission of defending women.
