A former NBA star big man has issued a "warning" to Angel Reese.
Enes Kanter, who earlier this month declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft, is promising to dunk on Reese once he becomes a WNBA player. Kanter is hoping to play in the WNBA next year, as he awaits word from the league regarding his declaration.
Following Reese's loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday, Kanter spoke out on social media.
"Sis! Once I go No. 1 pick in the 2027 @WNBA Draft, the first player I’m dunking on is Angel Reese. She’s the Paul George of the #WNBA. Just lean into the podcast already," he shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Reese had a tough game, missing several layups, including a game-winning attempt at the rim at the buzzer.
Caitlin Clark was caught laughing on ESPN's cameras.
Kanter officially declared for the WNBA Draft
Kanter declared earlier this month.
"After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027. I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp," he shared on X.
Kanter now awaits word from the WNBA - and perhaps Reese, too.
