Can you imagine a moment in a professional sports game where a sex toy takes center stage? Well, it happened at a WNBA game on Tuesday, creating a buzz that no one expected. This bizarre event is part of a growing trend that’s left fans and players alike scratching their heads.

The incident unfolded during the second quarter of the Indiana Fever’s away game against the Los Angeles Sparks. Kelsey Plum, a guard for the Sparks, was about to take a free throw with just over two minutes left in the first half when a sex toy unexpectedly landed on the court, right in front of the foul line. Talk about an unwanted distraction!

In a quick, almost reflexive response, Plum kicked the object into the stands. Imagine the surprise of the fans as they witnessed this unexpected turn of events! This isn’t an isolated incident, either. Just weeks before, a similar scene played out during a game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream, as well as another incident when the Valkyries faced the Chicago Sky.

Authorities are taking these incidents seriously. Following the Dream game in College Park, Georgia, a 23-year-old man named Delbert Carver was arrested and charged with multiple offenses including disorderly conduct and public indecency. Meanwhile, Chicago police reported no arrests following the toy-throwing incident there, claiming they hadn’t received any service calls about it.

In light of these bizarre occurrences, the WNBA has made its stance clear. They released a statement emphasizing their commitment to safety, stating, 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans.' They warned that any fan who throws an object onto the court will face immediate ejection and could be banned for a year, in addition to potential legal consequences.

As the WNBA works to maintain a safe environment for all attendees, fans can only hope these unusual disruptions become a thing of the past.
