Enes Kanter Freedom won’t be stepping into Wintrust Arena for a Chicago Sky game anytime soon.
Kanter was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Indiana Fever after exchanging words with Sky star Natasha Cloud.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Kanter is now banned from the arena. Sky owner Michael Alter said that Kanter has “unequivocally” shown the “potential to be a threat.”
Here is the official statement from Alter.
“[Kanter Freedom] has demonstrated to us unequivocally that he has the potential to be a threat,” Alter said. “That he is not able to control himself to the extent where we can be comfortable that he may [not] step towards the court again and towards the players. So that is the basis for which we will not permit him into the building until such time as he can prove otherwise.”
