Publicity stunt for both guys. White can't play in the league even if he wanted to he's afraid to fly, that and not being good is why his NBA career died.

Kanter wouldn't pass a physical he has severe degenerative back issues it plagued him his entire NBA career and he would not pass a physical.

THe WNBA ought to just let them enter the draft, go undrafted and explain why, Royce is afraid to fly so he can't travel and Kanter can't pass the physical

The way the courts are today, the WNBA needs to resolve this issue.

Of course it's a hot potato but the NBA has not been afraid to take a stand on issues in the past.

Trying to avoid politics, White would have a VERY tough time winning an argument to get in. From what read this morning he's made several very public attacks on transgender people so him arguing he's now trans would be tough.

But again if I'm the WNBA and they are still doing this leading up to the draft just hold a very public announcement and say OK Royce your physical is at 8am tomorrow we're booking you a flight and schedule it so far away he HAS to fly to make it. One of his problems with the NBA was to actually travel he needed to be sedated and there were all sorts of laws about it because in an emergency he wouldn't have been able to get off the plane if he was sedated and he just wasn't a good enough player to be worth the risk. He was also taking anti depressants that were on the NBA's banned list so presumably if he still is they're on the WNBA's banned list too.

Kanter has been taking very strong meds for years for his back and I know for a fact he failed a physical years ago because his back was so high risk.

So if they want to push it the WNBA could easily call their bluff

Now that
@EnesFreedom
announced he’s a woman & entering the draft
@wnba
has three options, all bad for them. 1. Deny he’s a woman. (Which means they know what a woman is.) 2. Admit men to league. 3. Announce only those born as women are eligible. Which path? Checkmate.
