Sex Toys Tossed on Court Interrupt WNBA Games in Chicago and LA in Replay of 2025 Incidents

  • During the Aug 20 matchup between the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks, play stopped when a green sex toy was thrown onto the court near Sparks forward Jihyun Park as she prepared to shoot free throws.
  • This incident marks a return of a troubling trend that plagued the WNBA throughout the 2025 season, when fans repeatedly threw similar items onto courts, forcing the league to issue formal condemnation.
  • Dream All-Star Angel Reese quickly pointed toward the perpetrator from the bench, seemingly yelling "Get him!" as Arena security apprehended the individual who had pushed past an officer to leave the stands.
  • Sky center Elizabeth Williams called the acts "immature," while Sophie Cunningham wrote on social media, "Stop throwing dildos on the court," warning that such actions endanger athletes.
  • Despite the interruption, the Dream secured a win, improving to 23-13 and holding the No. 5 seed with eight games remaining in the 2026 season, bolstered by Reese's record-setting double-double performance.
