Enes Kanter Freedom's WNBA bid has already hit a speed bump ... because one of the league's teams has banned him from its arena following his verbal altercation with a player.

Michael Alter -- the owner of the Chicago Sky -- announced during a news conference Tuesday that the former NBA star has been banned from Wintrust Arena in the Windy City.

Alter reportedly told the media, "He has demonstrated to us, unequivocally, that he has the potential to be a threat."

Residents at the Ohio trailer park tied to San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution bust are pissed ... but their beef isn't just with the billionaire who got caught in a sting operation.

A Wheat Hill Mobile Home Park resident tells TMZ ... she's fed up with police using the community for these operations ... saying cops are bringing potentially dangerous people right to their doorstep.

She says she's glad arrests are being made -- she just wants the prostitution stings moved somewhere else.

Her suggestion? Use a McDonald's, an empty parking lot ... basically anywhere kids don't live.

Jed York allegedly arranging to pay a prostitute $140 for sex in a trailer park ended up costing him $1,150 in fines after his arrest ... and it looks like the San Francisco 49ers' Chief Security Officer paid his boss' court fees.

According to online records, someone named "D Cory" paid Jed's fees after he pleaded no contest to a couple of misdemeanors in Ohio.

"D Cory" appears to be Dan Cory ... the CEO of Nickel Group, a security and risk management firm that protects San Francisco 49ers executives and team members. Dan's LinkedIn says he's the Chief Security Officer for the 49ers ... and the team announced last August it was hiring his firm.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York allegedly had been prostitute-probing for days before his big bust ... because police say he reached out to a prostitution ad multiple times -- and used fake names to conceal his billionaire status.

In a police report obtained by TMZ ... Jed allegedly reached out to a fake ad for a hooker a couple of times on Saturday, trying to score some company ... and then did again on Sunday morning -- which led to him being popped near a trailer park. California Post was first to report.

The Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force says Jed used the alias "Joe," asked for an address, and agreed to pay for full-service sexual activity ... before he was ultimately arrested for engaging in prostitution.

Cam Hazzard is ready to throw down against the biggest name in dunking!

The pro dunker with a 50-inch vert chopped it up with TMZ Sports just days before his big DUNKMAN matchup Tuesday night against fellow high flyer Joel Henry ... and while Hazzard is totally locked in on the task at hand, he can't help but anticipate a potential future matchup with Mac McClung.

“Of course I’ve thought about going against Mac,” Cam told us. “He’s a huge name. Won the NBA dunk contest three times in a row. And everybody always considers him the GOAT of dunking because he’s like the biggest name in the competition."

Cam, who is 21, isn't backing down.

Khadijah Haqq McCray is on the hunt for child and spousal support 2 years after her split from husband Bobby McCray ... and says her Hulu salary from her recent reality show isn't cutting it.

The 'Girls' star headed to court in Los Angeles Monday and filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- requesting her estranged husband help her out with expenses for their 3 kids -- Christian, Celine, and Kapri -- who she says she's been taking care of since their separation.

She laid it all out for the court ... explaining Bobby rakes in roughly $18,600 per month in disability, annuity, and related Social Security payments following his retirement from the NFL. Plus, she claims he has an NFL 401K valued at over $765,000.

Khadijah says her financial situation is not as steady.

The trailer park where 49ers Owner Jed York was arrested wants to make one thing clear ... it's not a hub for prostitutes.

Wheat Hill Mobile Home Park posted on its Facebook page ... "I just got off the phone with the Chief of Police for East Palestine, Chief Weingart. According to the Chief, Jed York was arrested in the park because that's where he happened to pull over."

The statement goes on ... "According to him, they were not using addresses in the park as part of their sting operation. This news of this arrest in our quiet community is just as shocking to us as to the rest of you."

Ex-NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom says his heated confrontation with WNBA guard Natasha Cloud went off the rails after Natasha told him Sophie Cunningham wasn't going to bang him.

Enes sat down with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, and she asked what sparked his viral altercation with Natasha at Sunday's WNBA game, which led to Enes being booted from the arena.

He says late in the third quarter, Sophie checked into the game and attempted a field goal, and he threw up his hands in celebration. He says Natasha noticed and on the next trip down the floor, she scored and then told him, "Sophie's not gonna sleep with you."

DeenTheGreat is sticking by Adrien Broner's side amid his sexual battery lawsuit.

During a recent live stream, Deen warns his pals not to let a specific woman on the yacht they were about to board ... saying she's the person behind the lawsuit against "AB," who we can deduce is his close friend, Broner.

He specifically notes they can't "be on there with" the woman ... and describes her physically as someone who looks like a "lemur."

12:54 PM PT -- Jed York filed for divorce three months before he he was arrested ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

10:27 AM PT -- The NFL tells TMZ Sports they're investigating the York arrest.

"We are aware of the matter which will be reviewed under the personal conduct policy," a league spokesperson said.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York landed in an Ohio jail Sunday ... after being arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution.

York was busted in East Palestine and booked into the Columbiana County Jail before posting $5,000 bond.

York also pleaded no contest to possessing criminal tools -- a misdemeanor.

Teofimo Lopez's thoughts on Rolly Romero? Been there, done that!

The newly crowned WBA welterweight champion stopped by the TMZ Sports offices and chopped it up with Babcock on Monday, less than 48 hours after his 12-round victory.

Rashod Bateman's baby mama told a prosecutor days after their June incident that he never shoved her into a wall or put his hands on her ... walking back the account she initially gave cops.

Marissa Crumley authorized Bateman's attorneys to provide TMZ with the email she sent on June 8, five days after the alleged incident, in which she said she wanted to explain the "true side of the story."

Crumley wrote that officers pressured her into identifying Bateman and invaded her privacy by lifting her head wrap to photograph marks on her face. She claimed the bruises and marks were self-inflicted "out of emotion and frustration."

The WNBA has no plans to ban former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom from coming to games as a fan ... even though he was ejected from a Chicago Sky game after a heated exchange with Natasha Cloud.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the plan inside the league is to try and move on and let the controversy die. We're told the league felt a ban wasn't warranted because Enes didn't set foot on the court and he didn't do anything else that was egregious.

As TMZ reported ... Natasha was livid with Enes -- who was wearing a black shirt that read "woman noun adult human female" -- when they started jawing during the third quarter Sunday as he sat near the court.

Olivia Jade and tennis star Taylor Fritz appear to be more than friends, and sources tell TMZ they are keeping things casual as they get to know each other.
