**The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement explicitly limits eligibility to players who are women, a rule reinforced by league sources rejecting recent draft declarations from former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White.** Those announcements, framed around self-identification as transgender women, were dismissed as publicity stunts intended to spark division rather than legitimate eligibility claims, with the league confirming neither will be eligible for the 2027 draft. No transgender women have appeared on WNBA rosters, and the league has signaled it will address broader gender eligibility issues deliberately with players, teams, and the union instead of responding to external pressure. This explicit policy language and the swift clarification of the two high-profile cases underpin traders’ strong consensus that no former NBA player will be selected. Scenarios that could still shift odds include a formal policy revision before the draft, successful legal challenges altering eligibility interpretations, or unforeseen roster or rule changes tied to ongoing stakeholder discussions.
