Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink made it known that she’s not a huge fan of former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom.
Kanter, the No. 3 pick from the 2011 NBA Draft, announced earlier this month that he’s “declaring” for the 2027 WNBA Draft. He released a whole video taking aim at the league’s stance on transgender inclusion in women’s sports.
“After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect,” Kanter wrote. “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.”
Kanter later attended a game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. He had an argument with Sky guard Natasha Cloud that led to him being escorted out of the arena.
While speaking to Jarrod Castillo of Mirror US this week, Brink made it clear that she won’t tolerate Kanter’s antics.
“For me, personally, I think when it comes to the trans issues that I believe you’re talking about, I think it’s a non-issue, and I think it’s people trying to just come for the trans community,” Brink said. “I just don’t stand for that. I don’t even know what the f— his name is. Enes Kanter – he’s a stupid piece of s—, and I think a lot of people think that. I think he’s just trying to stay relevant.”

Enes Kanter has already been banned by a WNBA arena.
The Chicago Sky announced earlier this week that Wintrust Arena has banned Kanter from attending future games.
“He has demonstrated to us, unequivocally, that he has the potential to be a threat,” Sky owner Michael Alter told the local media.
According to TMZ, the rest of the WNBA was hoping this issue would die down. Clearly, that hasn’t happened yet.
