Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams, for example, has said she would welcome a transgender-identifying athlete on her team or as an opponent.Freedom is now challenging the league to apply that philosophy to his own declared eligibility. \u201cMy team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception,\u201d Freedom said. \u201cI look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.\u201d\u201cSee you at training camp.\u201dFreedom, 34, was selected third overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2011 NBA Draft and spent more than a decade playing in the NBA. He became increasingly outspoken on political and international issues during his career, particularly over the Chinese Communist Party and the NBA\u2019s relationship with China, and has pursued political activism since leaving the league.Freedom is 6-foot-10 and had a listed playing weight of 250 pounds during his NBA career, which would make him the heaviest player in the WNBA and among its tallest.The stunt bears an obvious resemblance to \u201cLady Ballers,\u201d the DailyWire+ comedy in which a group of men competes in women\u2019s sports after discovering how far self-identification can take them under left-wing sporting policies.The WNBA did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for clarification on its draft eligibility rules.","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-08-07T22:39:31+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Former NBA Player Declares For WNBA Draft","datePublished":"2026-08-07T22:39:31+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132"},"wordCount":651,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7050f20658b384f9b8df1480652cd75c.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2132","name":"Former NBA Player Declares For WNBA Draft -
