Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has been indefinitely banned from attending Chicago Sky home games following a disruptive courtside incident involving Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Sky owner Michael Alter stated that Freedom's behavior demonstrated he has the potential to be a threat, leading to the decision.
The ban comes after Freedom engaged in a verbal altercation with Cloud during a recent game against the Indiana Fever. Freedom was also noted for wearing attire critical of transgender athletes, adding another layer to the controversy surrounding his presence at WNBA events.
