The retired, 6'10" center -- rocking a bright orange W hoodie -- says after a careful review of the league’s eligibility guidelines around inclusion, there was one conclusion.

Enes Kanter Freedom meets every single requirement.

“If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA,” the 34-year-old hooper posted Friday. "Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027."

Kanter went on ... "I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone -- the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.”

Enes closed with this ... “See you at training camp.”
