What happened: The Atlanta Dream and State Farm Arena officials placed Enes Kanter Freedom in a private suite for Game 3 of the WNBA Finals while play is in progress. The decision followed outreach from Freedom to the WNBA, the franchise, venue management, and federal, state, and local law enforcement regarding his personal safety at the arena.

Why it matters: Freedom previously announced plans to attend Game 3 in Atlanta after an August courtside ejection at a WNBA game. Moving him to a suite separates him from the main seating bowl during a sold-out postseason contest with the series tied 1-1.

What to watch: Arena security and league officials will oversee the suite arrangement at State Farm Arena as Game 3 continues in Atlanta.
