Turkey: Enes Kanter a member of terrorist group, issues warrant

The entire drama that unfolded surrounding Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter this past weekend has not necessarily died down.
It was a major story around the world when Kanter was held in an airport in Romania after Turkey cancelled his passport.




While the veteran was ultimately able to return to the States, he had some strong words for what appears to be an oppressive government in Turkey.




Now, it looks like Turkey itself is pushing back against the former Utah Jazz lottery pick.

According to a report from AFP, Turkey issued an arrest warrant for Kanter, claiming that he is a member of a terrorist organization.
