Dream arrange for private suite for Enes Kanter Freedom for his protection in Game 3 of Finals
- The Atlanta Dream and State Farm Arena arranged for former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom to watch Game 3 of the WNBA Finals from a private suite for his protection against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.
- Freedom said he was motivated to attend after learning Golden State Valkyries star Gabby Williams would support trans athletes playing in the league, inspiring him to declare for the WNBA draft.
- WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert replied to Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman that only women are eligible to play, stating Freedom and Royce White are both men despite their draft declarations.
- State Farm Arena directed Freedom to watch from a private luxury suite with additional security; State police assigned an officer to him at his request.
- This marks his first WNBA game since late August when he was ejected and banned from a Chicago arena following a heated interaction with Sky guard Natasha Cloud during a game against Indiana.
