Enes Kanter Freedom Gets Kicked Out Of Fever-Sky Game After Wild Face-To-Face Altercation With Natasha Cloud On The Court [VIDEO]
Cloud probably wasn’t a huge fan of Freedom’s shirt.
Enes Kanter Freedom’s bid to join the WNBA is off to another rocky start because, while attending the Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever game, he was escorted out by security.
The 34-year-old former NBA player was a surprise spectator in Chicago, seemingly enjoying the game at first without any hitch. However, things took a different turn when Sky guard Natasha Cloud allegedly addressed some words to Freedom.

After Natasha Cloud tried to confront Freedom, the arena’s security were quick to their feet and immediately decided to kick out the latter. The Sky guard was accompanied by several of her teammates when she went at it with Freedom near the sidelines.
With security on his side, Enes Kanter Freedom exited his seat without much hesitation. But along the way, he paused to explain what happened to the people accompanying him.
After that, he continued to engage the fans within the arena, drawing both boos and some scattered cheers from the crowd.
On Freedom’s shirt, a definition of what a woman is was highly visible. That may have caught Cloud’s attention, resulting in her hostility toward the former pro.

After the fiasco, the game went without further distractions. The Indiana Fever blew out the Chicago Sky, 113-90.
During his postgame interview, Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh was asked by reporters to share his thoughts about the confrontation between Enes Kanter Freedom and Natasha Cloud.
To no one’s surprise, Marsh fully supports his star guard’s stance about the incident.
“I told her (Natasha Cloud) that we all embrace her as someone who protects our team and protects people who need to be protected. Tash is always going to stand on that, and we stand for Tash,” Marsh said.
With the WNBA on everybody’s radar lately, it might be time to address all the issues to prevent anything from escalating further in the future.
