Enes Kanter, the former NBA big man who declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft, has been ejected from Sunday night’s Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky game.
The former NBA forward, best known for his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, was sitting courtside for Sunday night’s Fever at Sky game. The game is airing live on Peacock. Kanter, though, had some words with some of the Sky’s players.
Sky guard Natasha Cloud could be seen yelling at Kanter. The former NBA big man appeared to have some words back. Kanter was then ejected and escorted out of the arena.
Kanter previously “warned” the WNBA ahead of his appearance in Chicago on Sunday evening.
The former NBA big man appeared on Fox News Channel’s “My View with Lara Trump” on Saturday to talk about the issue.
“I think I will be the best draft pick in WNBA history, literally,” he said in a declaration.
Kanter says that he wants to expose the WNBA’s loophole regarding transgender athletes.
“So, there’s other major sports that obviously closed that loophole,” he said. “They added ‘biological female’ or ‘born female’ in their collective bargaining. But when I look at them, the WNBA, they didn’t have kind of, you know, reference to biological or anything like that. And all the coaches, I was watching this, and I believe the coach of Minnesota came out with a ‘trans kids belong’ (shirt), so I was like, if no one’s against it and all the coaches are OK with it, think about how much money I can bring, think about all the endorsement deals.
Kanter is “warning” the WNBA.
“The WNBA has no idea what they’re about to face. They’re still trying to figure out what a woman is,” he said. “So, let’s see if they can figure that out. So, let’s see what kind of rules that they’re gonna come up with.”
