Celtics center Enes Kanter is changing his legal name to Enes Kanter Freedom, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Per The Athletic, the change comes as Kanter is set to become a United States citizen on Monday.
In recent weeks, Kanter has been outspoken about trying to draw attention to various injustices in China. As part of his efforts, he has repeatedly called on Nike co-founder Phil Knight and Lakers star LeBron James to "visit these slave labor camps" in China.
He has also worn customized shoes with the words "Modern Day Slavery," "No More Excuses," "No Rights No Games" and "Taiwan Belongs to The Taiwanese People" written on them.
