Enes Kanter was not allowed to attend Game 3 of the WNBA Finals from the courtside seats he purchased.
Kanter announced his intentions of attending Game 3 of the WNBA Finals earlier this week. He also made it clear that he worried for his safety if he attended the game, so the Dream and State Farm Arena tried to accommodate him by giving him a private luxury suite for no extra charge.
However, Kanter refused that offer and demanded to sit courtside, which prompted arena officials to not let him attend the game unless he went to the luxury suite that had been reserved for his safety.
Enes Kanter attempts at creating a scene over Game 3 attendance backfires with fans
With the Dream issuing a statement which laid out the fact that Kanter was given a private suite after he raised concerns over his safety, Kanter shared a video of police officers not allowing him to enter the arena after he declined to take the free luxury suite in this sold-out game.
“They kicked me out of the game for supporting women.”
“So you’re not actually there to support the women and watch the game. You refused the suite they gave you because you’re there to antagonise the players again and be relevant again. Pathetic,” said one fan, calling out Kanter’s attempt at spinning the narrative.
“You are a grifter, and you were there to be a disruptive force. You don’t care about women. You are silent when women are being abused, but you are loud and proud when it comes to this non-existent WNBA transgender player issue (which there are no trans players in the league),” said another fan.
“Great Enes Kanter. Stay away. Your intentions are not pure… Just a distraction, as you were in the NBA, clout chasing,” said one more angry fan.
“If you wanted to watch the game, you would have gone to the private suite. They knew you were gonna be on bull—- and they put you out before it happened,” criticised another fan.
“Good! Stop harassing female athletes!” said another critical fan.
Kanter is still trying to find a way to be eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft, with outgoing WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert outlining to him that he will not be eligible despite his interpretations of the WNBA CBA.
With fans getting tired of Kanter’s displays to get media attention over his campaign against the WNBA, it’s only a matter of time before another attempt is made at appearing at the next WNBA Finals game. If not, media appearances on sympathetic TV networks are likely his next step.
