A strange incident occurred during Tuesday night’s WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Los Angeles Sparks when a sex toy was thrown from the stands and ended up close to Sophie Cunningham, a forward for the Fever.
When the object fell into the lane near Cunningham with 2:05 remaining in the second quarter, he responded visibly surprised. Cunningham had previously voiced his disapproval of fans throwing offensive objects onto the court on social media before the incident. Seeing what was happening, Kelsey Plum quickly kicked the item back into the crowd.
