CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sky have banned Enes Kanter Freedom from their home games after the former NBA center was ejected from Sunday’s loss to the Indiana Fever. Owner Michael Alter made the announcement in a rare news conference on Tuesday.
Alter told reporters Freedom is not allowed inside of Wintrust Arena for Sky games “unless sometime in the future he’s able to prove to us to our satisfaction that he is able to abide by our rules without being a potential threat.”
Freedom was removed from Sunday’s game after he was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter. Freedom was sitting along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.”
Alter described Freedom's purpose for attending the game as provocative, suggesting he was trying to stir up attention. Freedom expressed his frustration on social media after being ejected, stating he was kicked out for supporting women.
天空队老板称恩斯·坎特·弗里德姆被禁止参加主场比赛，称其为“潜在威胁”
芝加哥（美联社）——芝加哥天空队在前NBA中锋恩斯·坎特·弗里德姆因在对印第安纳热潮的比赛中被驱逐后，禁止他参加主场比赛。老板迈克尔·阿尔特在周二的新闻发布会上宣布了这一决定。
阿尔特告诉记者，弗里德姆在天空队的比赛中不被允许进入温特拉斯竞技场，“除非在未来的某个时候他能够向我们证明他能够遵守我们的规则，而不会成为潜在威胁。”
弗里德姆是在第三节末尾与天空队后卫纳塔莎·克劳德发生冲突后被驱逐的。弗里德姆坐在场边，穿着一件黑色T恤，上面写着“女性名词。成年女性。”
阿尔特形容弗里德姆出现在比赛中的目的为挑衅，暗示他是在试图引起关注。弗里德姆在被驱逐后在社交媒体上表达了自己的不满，称自己因支持女性而被驱逐。
