Summary
Jenner said she told Enes Kanter Freedom a few weeks ago she might enter the 2027 WNBA draft, casting the idea as a way to force the league to state whether a trans woman can play.
The 76-year-old made the remark on "Planet Tyrus," where she argued the WNBA could end the controversy simply by saying the league is for women and excluding "XY" athletes.
Freedom has already pressed Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA task force for a public "peace summit," saying Jenner had agreed to take part after the league failed to reach a clear eligibility decision.
Jenner has repeatedly opposed transgender women competing in female sports and has backed an expected IOC ban, saying biological advantages remain despite hormone therapy.
