WNBA game disrupted mid-play for second time in a week due to unexpected court incident

A WNBA game was interrupted again after a sex toy was thrown onto the court during play.

A WNBA game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky was temporarily stopped on August 1 after a bright green sex toy was thrown onto the court during the third quarter at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.

Officials briefly paused play to remove the object before resuming the game.

This was the second such incident in less than a week. A similar green sex toy was thrown onto the court during a game in Atlanta just four days earlier.

Both events occurred during live play and involved fans tossing the object from the stands.

Several players have since addressed the repeated incidents. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham expressed concern on social media, warning that someone could get hurt if such behavior continues.

Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams called the action “disrespectful” and said it detracts from the professionalism of the sport.

The WNBA’s Fan Code of Conduct prohibits throwing objects onto the court and allows for ejection of any fan who violates this policy.

As of now, no individual responsible has been publicly identified or removed during either event.
