“Don’t You Get on There, Put Wigs”: Ex-Laker Warns Enes Kanter and Royce White for Disrespecting WNBA

Former NBA player Patrick Beverley has warned Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White against disrespecting the WNBA. Speaking on the "Out The Mud" podcast hosted by Zach Randolph and Tony Allen, Beverley criticized the duo's plans to declare for the WNBA draft. He expressed concern as a father, stating he would confront anyone entering a locker room with his daughter, who plays basketball on the EYBL circuit.

Co-host Tony Allen supported Beverley's sentiments, urging people to respect WNBA players as women and not make a mockery of the league. The controversy stems from comments by Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham regarding transgender athletes in women's sports, which prompted Kanter Freedom and White to announce their intentions to declare for the 2027 WNBA draft.
