Summary
Michael Alter refused to say whether Enes Kanter Freedom could enter Wintrust Arena as a visiting player, leaving unresolved whether the Sky’s ban would override a potential WNBA appearance.
The question arose after Alter said Freedom was barred from future Sky games following his ejection from Sunday’s game against the Indiana Fever, where the team said he became a potential threat by stepping toward the court during a confrontation with Natasha Cloud.
Freedom, a 33-year-old former NBA player, says he will enter the 2027 WNBA Draft and still pursue a roster spot even if the league does not change eligibility language he argues is unclear.
Multiple outlets have reported Freedom is not eligible, but the WNBA has not publicly confirmed that and Freedom says he has received no notice from the league.
