Enes Kanter Freedom Natasha Told Me 'Sophie's Not Gonna Sleep With You'
Published August 25, 2026 6:35 AM PDT
Ex-NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom says his heated confrontation with WNBA guard Natasha Cloud went off the rails after Natasha told him Sophie Cunningham wasn't going to bang him.
Enes sat down with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, and she asked what sparked his viral altercation with Natasha at Sunday's WNBA game, which led to Enes being booted from the arena.
He says late in the third quarter, Sophie checked into the game and attempted a field goal, and he threw up his hands in celebration. He says Natasha noticed and on the next trip down the floor, she scored and then told him, "Sophie's not gonna sleep with you."
Enes says Natasha also started cussing him out, so he stood up for himself, and the next thing he knew, he was getting shown the door.
Sophie sparked the whole trans debate in the WNBA after her comments on biological men playing women's sports ... and Enes says he was just there to support her and support women.
Enes says he was confused by Natasha's verbal attack ... and said there were a bunch of kids who heard her foul language.
He says Natasha is the one who should have been ejected ... and we've learned the WNBA will not ban him from games over the incident.
Enes, who says he now identifies as a woman and claims he should be eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft, says he's not trying to sleep with Sophia.
We reached out to Natasha for comment ... so far, no word back.
