Former NBA forward Royce White made waves earlier this week by declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft.
The 35-year-old has now made a wild prediction that even LeBron James could join him in the league after retiring from the NBA.
Following his head-turning statement about declaring for the WNBA Draft, White appeared on Fox News on Sunday morning. The No. 16 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft claimed that the trans-athlete debate was necessary and criticized the WNBA for its eligibility criteria.
"It's just astounding that the WNBA can't define the W in the name. I think we're going through a very necessary conversation about who's actually eligible to play in some of these professional sports leagues, I guess on both sides of the gender spectrum," White said.
White, who is a Republican candidate in the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Minnesota, joined fellow ex-NBA player Enes Freedom in declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft. He added that his goal was to help "elevate the WNBA" and boost attendance across the league.
