Chicago Sky owner on Kanter ejection

The article details the Chicago Sky’s decision to eject and ban Enes Kanter Freedom from a game, citing concerns he posed a threat after approaching the court. Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter explained that Freedom was considered a threat once he took a step toward the court, and security acted swiftly to remove him without warning. Freedom disputes this, claiming he was not told to stay away and did not step onto the court, while Alter emphasizes that threats do not require warnings. The incident involved a verbal exchange initiated by Freedom, which escalated after he reportedly engaged in trash talk with a player and gestured towards a teammate, leading to his ejection. Alter highlighted that the team had received advance notice of Freedom’s attendance but interpreted a text message as a warning of potential trouble, which Freedom’s representatives dispute.
