Is Enes Kanter Freedom Serious About Entering The WNBA?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with some callers about the controversy surrounding former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White entering the WNBA Draft, the state of the WNBA and more.

Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White have announced plans to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft, saying they identify as transgender. The announcements appear to be aimed at challenging the WNBA’s policies on transgender athletes rather than launching legitimate basketball comebacks. The controversy raises questions about what the league’s eligibility requirements would be, particularly given that Kanter is 6-foot-10 and White is 6-foot-8. Neither player has been drafted or signed, but their announcements are putting pressure on the WNBA to clarify its policy on transgender participation. What does the Sports Shop crew think? Is Kanter serious?
