  • Former NBA stars Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White both declared themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft in August.
  • They have made it clear that the stunt is a protest related to the WNBA's rules regarding trans participation in the league.
  • Since then, at least one more former NBA player has followed suit, and Freedom has suggested that he has plenty more players behind the scenes who are ready to join the movement.
  • The WNBA set up a task force to discuss eligibility rules after Freedom's declaration, however they did not arrive on any conclusion.

  • Polymarket's own wording: "This market will resolve to 'Yes' if any former player of the National Basketball Association is drafted in the 2027 WNBA Draft."
  • If the 2027 WNBA Draft is cancelled, postponed past May 1, 2027, or the results can't be confirmed by then, this resolves 50-50 rather than No.
  • This is broader than a single-player bet - it pays out on ANY former NBA player being drafted, not just Enes Kanter Freedom specifically. Freedom's own draft market was archived by Polymarket without resolution in August 2026; this page tracks the wider question instead.
  • No matching Kalshi market currently exists for this question, so this page is Polymarket-only.
