Kanter Freedom’s Lawyers Demand Records After Chicago Sky Ejection Incident
The former NBA player alleges the team and arena owners retaliated against his protected expression and kept him out of future games.
- On Thursday, former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom filed a federal lawsuit against the Chicago Sky, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, and the City of Chicago, alleging wrongful ejection from an August 23 WNBA game.
- Security escorted Freedom from Wintrust Arena following a verbal exchange with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud, where Freedom claims Cloud initiated a "vulgar, profanity-laced verbal tirade" while he wore a "WOMAN noun" shirt.
- Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter barred Freedom from the arena on August 25, stating the ban remains until Freedom can "abide by our rules without being a potential threat" per the team's Fan Code of Conduct.
- The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority clarified on September 3 that the Sky controls access to Wintrust Arena, while Freedom's lawsuit alleges the entities conspired to discriminate against his "verbal and demonstrable expression of viewpoint."
- Freedom wrote on social media Thursday that he was "peacefully exercising" his First Amendment rights, characterizing the incident as an attempt to silence his speech and continuing his history of challenging institutional authorities.
