WNBA can't define a woman. Now men are declaring for the draft.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has created a task force to address questions about transgender athletes’ participation in women’s basketball, following weeks of public debate. The move became a fresh target for former NBA players who announced mock “candidacies” for the 2027 WNBA Draft. BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock highlighted the backlash, pointing to Enes Kanter’s and Royce White’s actions after they referenced what they called a loophole in the CBA. Kanter posted a parody declaring for the draft, while White appeared in a wig and made remarks during an Alex Jones interview. The episode escalates scrutiny of eligibility rules and how leagues define “woman.”
