Freedom had been seated along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read, "WOMAN noun.adult human female." The Sky later announced that the 6-foot-10, 250-pound former NBA center would be barred from future games at Wintrust Arena.

Team owner Michael Alter said the ban would remain in place "unless sometime in the future he’s able to prove to us to our satisfaction that he is able to abide by our rules without being a potential threat."Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Kanter, calling the debate over transgender athletes "non-issue" for the WNBA and suggesting the retired NBA center was "just trying to stay relevant."Los Angeles Sparks guard Cameron Brink (22) gestures during the first quarter against the Phoenix Mercury at Galen Center on Aug.11, 2026, in Los Angeles, California.

The two-time Women’s World Cup champion with the U.S.women’s national team had questioned his assertion that he was "just out there to protect women.""Well, oh my God, thank you so much because that’s what we were asking for.

In fairness, you did warn us about men forcing their way into WNBA spaces, and lo and behold," Rapinoe said.ENES KANTER FREEDOM EJECTED FROM SKY-FEVER GAME AFTER VERBAL ALTERCATION WITH NATASHA CLOUD"I grew up playing soccer ...
