Royce White shows up to Indiana Fever game in blonde wig amid WNBA Draft pursuit

Former NBA player Royce White brought his WNBA Draft campaign directly to an arena Friday night, just days after Enes Kanter Freedom was thrown out of a game.

Both White and Freedom have declared for the next WNBA Draft as males.

White attended the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse wearing a long blonde wig, as seen in photos and video obtained by OutKick.

The former first-round NBA pick could be seen inside the arena wearing the wig as the Fever prepared to take on Connecticut.

He was greeted with a friendly welcome by fans, as multiple people stopped to shake his hand and take pictures with him.

FORMER NBA PLAYER ROYCE WHITE SAYS HE IS DECLARING FOR NEXT WNBA DRAFT AFTER ENES KANTER ANNOUNCEMENT When asked by OutKick why he was there, White said, "All hail Queen Roysha, the queen has arrived, it's great to be here...

I'm here because Black trans lesbians matter, and we've always mattered, we've always existed...

I'm here to participate and scout some of the competition maybe as well." Freedom’s ejection became a national storyline Sunday night and continued to draw attention after he was banned from future Sky games.

CHICAGO SKY OWNER OPENS UP ON ENES KANTER FREEDOM EJECTION, MAKES ANALOGY TO SHOOTING A GUN When asked about Freedom's incident and if fans might also see some "fireworks" with White in attendance on Friday, White responded, "I'm just here to spectate.

I'm just here to support the WNBA and support the Fever." Asked what reception he expected from Fever fans Friday, White was unfazed: "Who cares? It’s life, you get one life to live.

You’re born, you breathe, you stop breathing, hopefully you give all glory to God … Who cares what the reaction is?" His appearance continued the public campaign he launched earlier this month when he announced his intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft.

White previously previewed the look on social media.

White formally declared for the draft in a letter sent to the WNBA league office by his attorney, former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz .

The declaration stated that White identified as a transgender woman and claimed eligibility under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.
