Enes Kanter Freedom has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Sky and the City of Chicago following an Aug. 23 incident at Wintrust Arena. The former NBA player was expelled from a Sky-Indiana Fever game after an exchange with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Kanter claims he should be eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft as a woman, but his lawsuit does not directly address the WNBA's eligibility rules regarding gender. The current policy does not define 'woman,' leaving room for interpretation regarding athletes assigned male at birth who identify as women.
