Royce White Fires Back at Montrezl Harrell Over WNBA

Update: 19 September 2026, 11:37:31 AM

Royce White has issued a pointed retort to Montrezl Harrell after the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year publicly disparaged White’s recent actions regarding the WNBA. The tension follows White’s August declaration for the 2027 WNBA draft, a move he staged to protest the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports. Following that announcement, White attended an Indiana Fever game against the Connecticut Sun on August 28, where he appeared wearing a blonde wig.

Harrell addressed these events during an interview with reporter Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson this Wednesday, where he used derogatory language toward White and Enes Kanter Freedom. When provided with an opportunity to respond to the remarks, White did not hold back, retorting, “This Is How Bi**hes Talk,” and later doubling down on his sentiments through a social media post on X reported by Robinson on Thursday.

Since stepping away from professional basketball, White has transitioned into the political arena, notably launching a campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota earlier this year. Despite his proactive stance on the eligibility of transgender athletes, the WNBA formally rejected his draft application in late August. The dispute remains ongoing as both parties continue to exchange heated rhetoric.
