Overview

• Friday’s game between the Chicago Sky and Golden State Valkyries at Wintrust Arena was halted in the third quarter after a neon green sex toy was tossed onto the court.
• It marked the second disruption involving the Valkyries this week, following a similar incident during their July 29 game against the Atlanta Dream.
• Video showed each green, identically shaped toy landing under the basket after being thrown from the upper deck behind the baseline.
• The league has removed game footage from its archives and has not announced any fan penalties as security teams investigate both incidents.
• Players including Elizabeth Williams, Cecilia Zandalasini and Isabelle Harrison condemned the acts as disrespectful and dangerous and called for improved arena screening.
