Cameron Brink ruthlessly attacks Enes Kanter Freedom: “He's a stupid piece of s**t”
The Sparks star accused Freedom of chasing clicks and targeting a vulnerable community
Cameron Brink didn't hedge when asked about Enes Kanter Freedom ’s increasingly public campaign around transgender eligibility in the WNBA .
Speaking after Los Angeles Sparks practice, Brink dismissed the issue as one being manufactured for attention and then delivered one of the strongest rebukes yet from an active player.
“For me personally, when it comes to the trans issues I believe you're talking about, I think it's a non-issue and it's people trying to just come for the trans community, and I just don't stand for that,” Brink told The Mirror US.
“I don't know what the f**k his name is, Enes Kanter, like he's a stupid piece of s**t.”
Her criticism arrived as Freedom continues to push the WNBA into a wider political and cultural debate despite there currently being no transgender women playing in the league.
Controversy is being manufactured
Brink ’s objection wasn't simply to Freedom ’s position. It was to the way she believes he is using the league to amplify it.
“I think people are tuned in [to the WNBA] for the right reasons,” Brink said. “It's great that we can all talk about things that are important and hard, and you can have your opinions on that.”
She added: “But I think taking something that's like a non-issue right now and trying to use it for clickbait, for views, for likes, and then targeting a vulnerable community is just really low.”
That stance is consistent with Brink ’s previous comments about inclusion in women’s basketball. She has spoken publicly about having teammates who use they/them pronouns and has argued that players shouldn't receive more attention simply because they fit a particular image.
“I want everyone to be accepted, not just paid attention to because of how they look,” Brink previously told UPROXX.
Chicago ejection added fuel to dispute
The latest backlash follows Freedom ’s appearance at Sunday’s Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game, where he was escorted out of Wintrust Arena after a verbal exchange with Natasha Cloud .
According to Freedom , Cloud told him, “She's not going to sleep with you,” after he reacted to a Sophie Cunningham three-pointer.
He said he responded that he wasn't there “to sleep with her,” but instead to “protect women and support her.”
The Chicago Sky later banned Freedom from home games, although the WNBA didn't issue a league-wide ban.
Earlier this month, Freedom also announced that he intended to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft while claiming to identify as a woman, presenting the move as a challenge to the league’s eligibility framework.
The argument around Freedom has now moved well beyond league policy and into a broader fight over motive, publicity and who is being affected by the debate.
Brink left little ambiguity about her own view. She believes the WNBA is being used as a stage for a controversy that doesn't currently exist on the court, and that the people caught in the middle are members of the transgender community.
