Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma believes the WNBA is doing “a disservice” to female basketball players by not taking a clear stance on the participation of transgender athletes in the league.
“Needing a committee to find that answer is a disservice to every girl who was told this league was for her,” added the 2020 NBA champion.
WNBA – Transgender ControversyIn said memo, Engelbert clarified that the league would address its transgender eligibility policy after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared for the 2027 WNBA draft, stating they identify as women.
The ongoing WNBA – transgender controversy picked up steam after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham told ESPN last month that she wasn’t in favor of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Subsequently, several WNBA players and coaches voiced their support for trans athletes, including Seattle Storm center Stefanie Dolson and Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve.
