Enes Kanter Freedom Threatens Suit Over $4,000 Ejection as Sky Owner Defends Ban

Q: What explosive words were actually exchanged between Freedom and Natasha Cloud before security triggered the immediate, controversial Wintrust Arena ban?

The only specific phrase publicly attributed to the exchange is Enes Kanter Freedom’s claim that Natasha Cloud shouted, “She’s not gonna sleep with you,” after he celebrated a Sophie Cunningham 3-pointer. Beyond that, there is no independently verified public transcript of the confrontation. Freedom said Cloud then continued “screaming and yelling,” using “F-bombs” and other profanity, but he has not provided the exact additional words on the record. Michael Alter, the Sky owner, confirmed the two were “going back and forth” and said Cloud was “shouting things at him,” but he also said he had no audio evidence and could not supply exact wording. Alter, citing spectators, said Freedom had earlier initiated contact with basketball-related trash talk toward Cloud, but again no precise quotes from Freedom’s side of the exchange have been publicly documented. So, based on the available reporting, the clearest answer is that the remark actually reported in specific words was Cloud allegedly telling Freedom, “She’s not gonna sleep with you,” followed, according to Freedom, by repeated profanity that has not been independently verified or fully quoted.

Enes Kanter Freedom said he and his legal team will take action against the Chicago Sky and owner Michael Alter after being ejected Sunday and later banned from future games at Wintrust Arena.
Michael Alter defended the removal by saying security viewed Freedom as a threat when he stepped toward the court, and used a gun analogy to argue that some threats do not warrant a warning.
Freedom called that comparison unacceptable, said he did nothing wrong, and is seeking a refund for about $4,000 in courtside tickets.
The dispute turns on whether Freedom attempted to enter the court: the WNBA fan code allows immediate ejection for attempted court entry, while Alter said he could not confirm whether Freedom crossed the baseline.
Freedom also tied the clash to his broader campaign to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft, saying the ejection and ban will not stop that effort.
