Overview

  • Delbert Carver, 23, was arrested in College Park, Georgia, and booked into Clayton County Jail after allegedly throwing a neon-green sex toy onto the court on July 29; he was released on bond and faces a pending court date.
  • A second sex toy was hurled onto the court at Wintrust Arena on August 1 during the Valkyries–Chicago Sky matchup, but no arrest or service call was made in connection with that incident.
  • The WNBA has implemented a zero-tolerance policy that mandates immediate ejection, one-year minimum bans and potential prosecution for anyone who throws objects onto the court.
  • League officials are conducting an internal security review and have removed footage of the initial incident from League Pass archives to reinforce updated venue protocols.
  • Players from multiple teams have denounced the toy-throwing episodes as dangerous and disrespectful, calling for enhanced fan conduct measures at games.
