Enes Kanter (Credit: AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews) Enes Kanter, the NBA center and Turkish national who was detained in Romania last week after his passport had been revoked, is now wanted by the Turkish government. Turkey issued an arrest warrant this week against Kanter and accused him of being a member of a “terror group,” a pro-government Turkish newspaper reported, according to ESPN. window.hook_external_salon_video = function (){ var sYUI = window.sYUI || ( window.sYUI = YUI(slnm.config.yui) ); sYUI.use('slnmEventsTracker', 'salonVideoRealTimeTracking', function (Y) { window.slnmDebug('vrtt-ext', 'hooking video tracking for external video.', ''); Y.slnmEventsTracker.init(); window.slnmDebug('vrtt-ext', 'rechecking for video.', ''); Y.salonVideoRealTimeTracking.armTracker(); }); } Kanter, a vocal critic of Turkey’s president, Recept Tayyip Erdogan, posted a video to Twitter last week in which he called Erdogan “a dictator” and “the Hitler of our century.” The Oklahoma City Thunder player was detained for hours at a Romanian airport for what he claimed to be his political opposition to Erdogan. A supporter of American-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, Kanter said in an interview at the National Basketball Players Association headquarters earlier this week that he hopes to become an American citizen.
