Enes Freedom on trans athletes in women’s sports: ‘Should I put on a wig … and start dominating the WNBA?’

Enes Kanter Freedom has been out of the NBA since the 2021-22 season and has maintained he is being “blackballed” from the league for speaking out on geopolitical issues, specifically China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims.
