Enes Kanter Freedom responds to Chicago Sky owner on ejection and ban, plans to sue

Enes Kanter Freedom suggested he will pursue legal action against the Chicago Sky and owner Michael Alter after Alter invoked shooting a gun as an "extreme example" while explaining why the former NBA center was ejected from Sunday's Sky vs.

Fever game without a warning.

"I’m not talking about against the WNBA , but I think against Michael Alter and the Chicago Sky for sure," Freedom said.

"Like, I don’t think they know what they’re talking about." "Me and my legal team will definitely be taking actions against Chicago Sky and Michael Alter," he added.

ENES KANTER FREEDOM, DEEMED TO HAVE ‘THE POTENTIAL TO BE A THREAT,’ RESPONDS TO SKY OWNER'S COMMENTS Freedom did not identify a specific legal cause of action or say when he plans to file a lawsuit.

Alter made the gun analogy during an exclusive interview with OutKick on Wednesday.

He was responding to Freedom’s contention that security should have warned him before ejecting him from Sunday’s game between the Sky and Indiana Fever.

Alter said Freedom was deemed a threat when he stepped toward the court, while waving his hands in the air and pointing at a player.

"He wasn’t given a warning because certain threats don’t get warnings," Alter said.

"To use an extreme example, when you shoot a gun at someone, you don’t get a warning, ‘Don’t do that again.’ Your action doesn’t deserve a warning.

You take action that becomes a threat, you don’t get a warning." Alter used the example to argue that security does not always need to issue a warning before responding to conduct it considers threatening.

Freedom nevertheless called the statement "unacceptable." "I mean, he needs to check himself," Freedom said.

Alter announced Tuesday that the Sky had banned Freedom from future team games at Wintrust Arena.

Alter said the ban could be reconsidered if Freedom proves to the team’s satisfaction that he can follow its rules without becoming a potential threat.
