Enes Kanter Freedom enters the WNBA eligibility debate as Boosie, Sophie Cunningham and Gabby Williams take opposing positions. Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom is trying to crash the 2027 WNBA Draft by turning the league’s unresolved transgender question into a public test. “After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect,” Freedom said in a video posted on X. “If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.” Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams then offered the clearest welcome for any transgender player who might eventually reach the league.
