Natasha Cloud dismissed Enes Kanter Freedom as an "irrelevant person" while preparing for the Chicago Sky's game against the New York Liberty on Saturday.

"I won't be talking about anything that happened with an irrelevant person," Cloud said. "What I will focus on is what actually affects women and children currently in 2026."

Cloud named domestic violence, sexual assault and food insecurity as three issues affecting women. She got into a confrontation with Freedom during Sunday's Chicago home game against the Indiana Fever. The former NBA player was sitting along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female." The Fever called for a timeout after Cloud scored inside with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud chest-bumped with teammate Aicha Coulibaly before turning around and walking in Freedom's direction.

"I will not talk about an irrelevant threat to our lives, because that's exactly what it is," she said. "I want to talk about real issues that face women, and it's not our trans human beings and it's not our drag queens."

Freedom has been banned by Sky owner Michael Alter from attending any future Chicago home games. Cloud applauded the move by the front office to "protect the players."
