WNBA Game Disrupted by Sex Toy Throw; Perpetrator Arrested and Banned
A green sex toy was thrown onto the court during a third-quarter WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena on August 20, 2026. The object landed near forward Jihyun Park as she prepared for a free throw. Dream star Angel Reese pointed out the perpetrator, while Sparks center Cameron Brink kicked the item off the floor. Security apprehended the thrower, who was arrested and received an indefinite ban from all WNBA, NBA, and affiliated events. The incident marks a recurrence of similar disruptions seen in 2025, with the responsible group now citing opposition to the league's stance on transgender athletes as their motivation.
