Third WNBA game interrupted by a sex toy. What are players, coaches saying?

LOS ANGELES — For the third time in eight days, a bright green sex toy was hurled onto the court at a WNBA game.

This incident took place after a free throw by Kelsey Plum with about two minutes to play in the first half of Los Angeles’ game against the Indiana Fever. The toy sailed from behind the Sparks’ baseline onto the court, just missing Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Plum immediately kicked it out of play.

Crypto.com Arena security rushed up the lower bowl to catch the offender. After watching the arena’s video footage, security personnel later told The Athletic that the individual fled from the arena promptly after throwing the object.

Cunningham went to the sideline where she laughed with teammates and the L.A. bench, but the game resumed without much delay.

The league did not respond Tuesday night to a request for comment about the situation.
