Overview
- During the second quarter at Crypto.com Arena, a neon-green sex toy thrown from the stands landed in the lane near Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and grazed her before Sparks guard Kelsey Plum kicked it off the court.
- The graze marks the third on-court disruption in seven days, following similar toy tosses in Atlanta and Chicago that briefly halted play and drew sharp criticism from players.
- Police in College Park, Georgia, arrested 23-year-old Delbert Carver on disorderly conduct, public indecency and criminal trespass charges in connection with the July 29 Atlanta incident.
- The league’s zero-tolerance stance enforces immediate ejections, mandatory one-year bans and potential local prosecution for any fan who throws objects onto the court.
- Reports of comparable toys landing near spectators in New York and Phoenix have spurred the WNBA to review its Fan Code of Conduct and bolster security screenings.
