Enes Kanter Freedom was removed from WNBA Finals game three in Atlanta on October 21, 2026, after buying courtside seats and declining the league's offer of a private suite. State police assigned an officer to him at his request for the game. The Dream beat the Valkyries 97-71 behind Angel Reese's 21 points and 12 rebounds. The discussion now turns on how it happened: one account says he was kicked out of the game, another that he was denied entry after turning down the suite. The league has not given its own account of the sequence.
