After Sunday’s game, Kanter gave his account of his altercation with Natasha Cloud while speaking to OutKick’s Jackson Thompson.
“Sophie Cunningham shot a three, and I put my hands up to celebrate,” Freedom said. “Literally, a couple possessions later, Natasha came back and started screaming and yelling and said, ‘She’s not gonna sleep with you.’”
He also claimed that Cloud directed profanities at him, criticizing her conduct in front of fans.
“She started to yell. She started to use some very heavy language. She started to actually cuss, and I was very shocked that there were a lot of kids and that there were a lot of teenagers at that game,” Freedom said.
When asked about his ejection from the arena, Kanter said that he received no explanation from security.
“I was like, ‘Can you please tell me why I need to leave?’ They said, ‘Look, you just need to leave,’” Freedom said. “They pretty much pushed me to leave the gym.”
Smith’s comments add another reaction to the controversy surrounding Kanter’s involvement with the WNBA. Despite his ejection from Sunday’s game, he remains committed to his plans to enter the 2027 WNBA draft.
