Enes Kanter Freedom breaks silence on clash with Natasha Cloud

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday’s Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever game after a confrontation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud, he told Fox News.

Freedom said Cloud approached him after he cheered a three-pointer by Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, telling him she wasn’t “gonna sleep with” him before cursing repeatedly near young fans. He believes his shirt reading “WOMAN noun. adult human female” provoked her. Security later removed him without explanation.

Cloud posted support for the trans community afterward. Freedom, who plans to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft, denied the incident was politically motivated.
