The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are not eligible for the WNBA draft, a person familiar with the decision said Monday. Both had declared plans to enter the draft and said they identify as transgender. The league has not publicly explained the eligibility decision; an anonymous WNBA source said it would not “give oxygen” to efforts meant to mock the league or marginalize others. Freedom attended a Chicago Sky game Sunday and was reported to have been ejected.
