Fan Arrested After Adult Toy Thrown Onto WNBA Court; Reports Suggest Possible Second Suspect

A fan has been arrested after allegedly throwing a neon green sex toy onto the court during the July 29, 2025 WNBA game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream in College Park, Georgia. The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of the Valkyries’ 77‑75 win, prompting a brief stoppage as officials removed the object from the floor.

The WNBA confirmed the arrest but has not publicly identified the individual involved. Atlanta police have so far declined to comment on the case. According to the league, the fan was ejected, and in line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, faces a minimum one‑year ban in addition to possible prosecution.

“The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority,” a league spokesperson said. “Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans.”

Just three days later, on August 1, a nearly identical incident occurred when another bright green sex toy was tossed under a basket during the Valkyries’ 73‑66 victory over the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. The game was briefly paused, but play quickly resumed after staff removed the item. It remains unclear whether an arrest was made in connection with this second incident.

While some reports suggest a second male suspect may be under investigation, multiple sources stress that this information cannot be confirmed at this time. Neither the WNBA nor local law enforcement has issued a statement supporting the claim.

Players have voiced their frustration over the repeated disruptions. Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams, who formerly played for the Dream, called the act “super disrespectful” and “immature.”

“I don’t really get the point of it,” Williams said after Friday’s game. “It’s really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.”

Other WNBA players took to social media to condemn the behavior and call for stricter arena security. Isabelle Harrison of the New York Liberty tweeted:

“ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??! Please do better. It’s not funny. Never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous.”

Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever echoed the concern, writing:

“Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.”

The incidents have sparked widespread conversation about fan conduct and safety at professional sporting events, with many players and fans urging the league to ensure stronger preventative measures moving forward.
