A Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) game between the Chicago Sky and Seattle Valkyries took an unexpected turn when a sex toy was thrown onto the court, causing a temporary halt in play.
The incident occurred during the third quarter of the match, with players and officials visibly surprised as the object landed near the baseline. Security swiftly removed the item, and the game resumed after a brief delay.
Mixed Reactions from Players and Fans
While some spectators laughed off the bizarre interruption, others expressed frustration at the disruption. Sky forward Elena Delle Donne later commented, "It's not something you expect during a professional game. We just wanted to focus on basketball."
Valkyries guard Jewell Loyd added, "It was definitely a first for me. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again."
Arena Security Under Scrutiny
The incident has raised questions about security measures at WNBA venues. League officials confirmed they are reviewing protocols to prevent similar occurrences in future matches.
This isn't the first time unusual objects have made their way onto basketball courts, but it marks one of the more peculiar interruptions in recent WNBA history.
