Kanter Freedom ejected from WNBA game over player row
Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from a WNBA game after a courtside confrontation with Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud. Kanter Freedom said the dispute arose after he celebrated a three-pointer by Sophie Cunningham and Cloud responded with a provocative remark, while Cloud posted a message of support for transgender people afterward. The Chicago Sky later banned Kanter Freedom from its arena, calling him a potential threat, and the WNBA subsequently ruled him and Royce White ineligible for the draft.

BBC gives a brief, largely neutral account of the ejection, quoting both Kanter Freedom's and Cloud's social media reactions, and situates the incident within the WNBA's broader transgender eligibility debate and other disruptive protests (sex toys thrown on court), citing the CBA's 'only players who are women' clause without editorializing.
