Martina Navratilova has questioned the WNBA’s current eligibility wording after Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White announced plans to enter the 2027 draft. Cathy Engelbert says league leaders will discuss the issue next week. Navratilova has also backed Aryna Sabalenka and the WTA’s new one-time SRY gene testing rule. The WNBA has not announced any change to its current eligibility policy.
Cheryl Miller strongly rejects criticism from Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White. She believes outside voices create unnecessary negativity around the women’s basketball league. Miller prefers attention remain on players and the ongoing WNBA season competition. The league’s transgender policy should be carefully discussed during the offseason. This approach protects everyone while avoiding unnecessary debate.
