Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom explained what inspired his decision to pursue an opportunity in the WNBA.
Freedom said comments from a WNBA player welcoming transgender athletes convinced him there was no reason not to try.
“One of the [WNBA] players literally said, ‘I welcome trans athletes on my team’… So I was like, if they don’t have any problem with it, why not go out there and take my shot?” Freedom said.
