Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom used his X account on Wednesday to demand that the WNBA suspend Chicago Sky star A’ja Wilson and any teammates who followed her into the stands during the Indiana Fever‑Connecticut Sun playoff game on Tuesday.
Kanter quoted WNBA Rule 12A, which he said mandates automatic ejection for a player who deliberately enters the stands. He added that the Fever’s investigation found the fan did not violate the league’s Fan Code of Conduct.
Wilson later told reporters she felt threatened when a fan stepped toward her and pointed at her after a collision with Fever forward Sophie Cunningham. She said, “If I see a man come at me, taking steps toward me and pointing at me, I don’t give a damn what you said…that is unacceptable.” Wilson received a technical foul for the incident.
The altercation came as the Fever and Aces prepared for a decisive Game 3 of their first‑round series, with tensions already high after Cunningham’s earlier jab at Wilson.
