Former NBA player Royce White told Fox News Digital he plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, shortly after former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom made a similar announcement. White said he identifies as transgender and as a woman for basketball purposes, placing the announcement within the wider debate over transgender participation in women’s sport.

The article presents White’s declaration as the second such announcement by a former NBA player on the same day. It does not provide details on whether either player meets WNBA eligibility requirements or how the league has responded.
