Chicago Sky Ban Enes Kanter Freedom from Home Games

The Chicago Sky have banned former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom from their home games, calling him 'a potential threat' after he was ejected during Sunday's loss to the Indiana Fever.

Owner Michael Alter announced the ban during a news conference on Tuesday, stating Freedom is not allowed inside Wintrust Arena for Sky games unless he can prove he can abide by the team's rules without being a threat. The decision comes after Freedom was ejected following a confrontation with the Cloud during the game.

Alter explained that Freedom's actions demonstrated an intention to 'be provocative,' adding that the team believes Kanter is 'using his freedom to punch down.' The ban will remain in effect until Freedom can demonstrate he can follow the arena's rules without posing a potential threat. rocore.sbs
