Sophie Cunningham's recent comments about locker room protections have ignited discussion in the WNBA. In response to concerns raised by Cunningham regarding trans women in women's sports, Royce White and Enes Kanter Freedom claim they will declare for the WNBA draft. However, experts contend both players are not viable candidates due to ages and performance issues. White faces significant character concerns and has not played competitive basketball in nearly a decade, while Kanter Freedom has been out of the NBA since 2022, attributed to personal and professional shortcomings.
