Enes Kanter looking to sue Chicago Sky over ‘unacceptable’ Natasha Cloud ejection
Speaking on his second appearance on Fox News this week, former NBA star Enes Kanter addressed his ejection from the Chicago Sky WNBA game.
He claimed that he did nothing that warranted him being kicked out, and that it was Cloud who should have been sent out of the game instead.
“I did not cross over to the baseline or the sideline, and we’re not allowed to touch any players, obviously, as the fans. So, I didn’t break any rules.

“For them to come out and throw me out of the game, and literally, they said, ‘his actions were equal to shooting a gun.’ I just cannot believe it.
“I don’t know who this PR person is, but they’re doing a terrible job. We might be looking into a lawsuit, for sure, because this is unacceptable, this is not what sportsmanship looks like.
“Natasha Cloud should have been the one to get thrown out of the game or get fined. We wrote to the commissioner and the task force, and we’re waiting to hear back. We’ll just wait to see what happens.”
Kanter immediately drew attention to himself with his presence at the game, with the focus shifting instantly from the battle between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky to him sitting courtside.

While Cloud did start the verbal altercation with Kanter, one can imagine that seeing the man who has been on the front lines and being critical of the league and the players made her react in a rash way.
Even if that were the case, Cloud getting into a heated exchange only accelerated the eventual outcome, which was Kanter ultimately getting kicked out of the Wintrust Arena.
