Sky owner says Enes Kanter Freedom is banned from home games, calling him ‘a potential threat’

Owner Michael Alter said Kanter Freedom can return only if he proves he can follow arena rules after a courtside confrontation led to his ejection.

  • On Tuesday, Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter announced that former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom is banned from Wintrust Arena for home games following his ejection from Sunday's loss to the Indiana Fever.
  • The ban follows a third-quarter confrontation on Sunday when Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud approached Freedom as he sat courtside wearing a shirt reading "WOMAN noun" and verbally challenged him.
  • Fox News reported Wednesday that Freedom sent a letter to the WNBA requesting a full ticket refund and "an explanation for the basis of my ejection," alleging unfair rule enforcement.
  • Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink condemned Freedom's "publicity stunts," stating he is "trying to stay relevant" by targeting a "vulnerable community" for attention and clicks.
  • Freedom's 2027 WNBA Draft declaration was denied, leading him to claim discrimination for "defending the integrity of women's sports" while arguing his ejection reflects unfair league enforcement patterns.
