Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud refused to address Enes Kanter Freedom by name as she made her first public comments about their furious courtside clash last Sunday.Ex-NBA star Kanter Freedom sparked huge controversy earlier this month when he announced his decision to declare for the WNBA Draft, in an attempt to bypass the league’s trans athlete policy.Tempers boiled at the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game when Kanter Freedom turned up to watch, with Cloud becoming enraged by his presence at the side of the court.The former Knicks and Celtics player was quickly ejected and banned from the arena, and now Cloud has shared her thoughts on the divisive incident.’I won’t be talking about anything that happened with an irrelevant person,’ Cloud told reporters on Saturday. ‘What I will focus on is what actually affects women and children.’ ‘I will talk about real issues that face women, and it’s not our trans human beings,’ she continued. ‘It’s not our drag queens. It’s not our gay community. There is a certain demographic of people that you can generally search. Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from the Sky arena after his fight with Natasha Cloud Cloud has now spoken for the first time, calling Kanter Freedom an ‘irrelevant person”It’s a simple Google search of what is the greatest threat to women and children in 2026 in the United States of America, and it’s not going to be trans people.’When the confrontation happened in Chicago last Sunday, Kanter Freedom was wearing a shirt which defined a woman as an ‘adult human female’.He had previously taken issue with the WNBA’s wording in their eligibility policy, which was subsequently reviewed – and cleared – by the league’s hierarchy.The courtside incident occurred when Kanter Freedom raised his arms to celebrate a Sophie Cunningham shot, and he alleges Cloud told him: ‘She’s not going to sleep with you.’The pair exchanged words, before Cloud then tried to approach the male athlete and had to be held back by teammates. Kanter Freedom was then removed from the arena.Two days later, the Sky’s principal owner Michael Alter announced that Kanter Freedom would no longer be welcome at the arena for future games, labeling him a ‘potential threat’.In her comments to the media, Cloud praised the response from the team. The WNBA’s trans war was first sparked by comments from Fever star Sophie Cunningham Kanter Freedom is trying to reach the WNBA after declaring for the Draft earlier this month’We’re asking for protection, and that’s what protection looks like from a man,’ Cloud said. ‘We can’t not allow him in the arena before the game, but after the game we can bring solutions to the table that best benefit putting our players first and protecting our players. ‘Jeff, Tyler and Michael have done a good job of that. I hope the WNBA follows their lead.’When she was asked why the WNBA continues to experience growing controversy, she answered, quite simply: ‘Men.’The controversy was first sparked in the wake of an interview by Fever star Cunningham, in which she divided opinion by stating her desire to ‘protect young girls’ from trans players in an interview with ESPN.
