The Turkish government has issued an arrest warrant for Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter for being a member of a "terror group," according to a pro-government Turkish newspaper, The Daily Sabah.
Kanter is a vocal supporter of Fethullah Gulen and the "Gulen Movement." After a military coup attempt in 2016, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan placed blame for the attempt on Gulen and his supporters.
Gulen, a Muslim spiritual leader, has spent the last 15 years in exile in Pennsylvania. Gulen has denied claims of involvement with the coup.
Kanter appeared to mock the arrest warrant in his native Turkish as part of a retweet of the Daily Sabah's report.
