Things are getting heated between former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom and the WNBA. On Sunday, Freedom attended the game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. His attendance was tied to his ongoing dispute with the WNBA over transgender eligibility rules.

Clearly not amused by his actions, Sky star Natasha Cloud went out of her way to call out Freedom mid-game during the third quarter. Cloud and Freedom got into a heated argument, which later resulted in the former NBA star's ejection from the building. Milwaukee Bucks star Kyle Kuzma went on social media to call out Freedom for his actions.

"Look at the drama queen….. no not Natasha. Grown man stepping over the baseline at a woman 🤡," Kuzma wrote on X.

Freedom has become a lightning rod in the WNBA debate. Earlier this summer, he vowed to fight for transgender players’ right to compete, citing the league’s draft rules that state ‘players who are women’ are eligible without specifying birth sex.

One major loophole Freedom found was that the rule's wording did not include keywords such as "born a woman" or "biological women".

To prove his point, he declared he would enter the 2027 draft while identifying as a woman, despite remaining a heterosexual male.

Enes Kanter Freedom Argues Against Getting Kicked Out of Fever-Sky Game

While everyone is aware of Enes Kanter Freedom's pettiness to prove a point to the WNBA, the former NBA star claims to be supporting women during his attendance at Sunday's game between the Fever and Sky.

Freedom was spotted wearing a black shirt that had the word " woman " printed on it, complete with its definition. Unfortunately for him, everyone is aware of his ill intentions, as security immediately escorted him out of the arena when he got into a heated exchange with Sky star Natasha Cloud.

In a video uploaded by sports insider Colin Salao, Kanter was spotted arguing with the arena's security team. He questioned them about kicking him out and tried to argue that his presence in Sunday's game was his way of supporting female basketball players.

"I'm supporting women, and that's the reason they're kicking me out?" Freedom questioned. "That is unacceptable."

Freedom ultimately accepted his fate and quietly walked out of the building. However, given his recent history on social media, it's safe to assume that we're likely to hear from him again soon.
