Enes Kanter Freedom to attend WNBA Finals Game 3

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 18:32 · Archive

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom announced plans to attend Game 3 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom announced on social media that he plans to attend Game 3 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta on Wednesday as a fan.

Freedom last attended a WNBA game in late August when Chicago hosted Indiana. He was ejected from that game and banned from the arena following a heated interaction with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud.

Freedom said in his post that he was inspired by an interview featuring Gabby Williams of the Golden State Valkyries, in which Williams said she had 'no problem with trans athletes playing on my team or against my team.' He said Williams's words motivated him to come out as a woman and declare for the WNBA draft.

Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, have declared for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women. However, a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press in August that they are not eligible. The WNBA declined to comment on Freedom potentially attending the Finals. There has never been a transgender woman player in the WNBA.
