Fans at the Chicago Sky’s home game against the Golden State Valkyries witnessed an unusual interruption on Friday night when multiple sex toys were thrown onto the court during the third quarter. The game, which ended in a 73-70 victory for Chicago, continued after arena staff cleared the items while players remained on the floor.
Similar incident in Los Angeles
Just a day earlier, a comparable disruption occurred during the Los Angeles Sparks’ 124-88 win over Atlanta. Police in Los Angeles reported that a male suspect was detained by arena security, issued a citation, and then released.
Pattern of disruptions
The incidents are part of a series of similar disruptions that have taken place in WNBA venues over the past season, including games in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Some of those earlier events resulted in arrests, though details on the outcomes vary.
Both leagues and venue operators have not yet released statements indicating any changes to security protocols, but the repeated nature of the incidents suggests a need for heightened vigilance at future games.
