Basketball player Sophie Cunningham encounters sexual mishap during Fever game, becoming the latest WNBA figure to be affected by adult merchandise incident
==============================================================================
The world of women's basketball has been shaken by a series of bizarre incidents, as sex toys have been thrown onto the court during WNBA games. The latest victim was Sophie Cunningham, enforcer for the Indiana Fever, during their game against the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena.
This incident marks the third time a WNBA game has been disrupted by a flying sex toy in recent weeks. The WNBA community is growing increasingly concerned about the safety risks and disrespectful nature of these acts.
The trend began earlier in the year, with at least five incidents reported in 2025. One of the most notable incidents occurred during a Phoenix Mercury game, where an 18-year-old man, Kaden Lopez, was arrested after throwing a green dildo onto the court, hitting a man and possibly a young girl nearby.
The series of sex toy-throwing incidents has happened over multiple WNBA games within a span of weeks. The Phoenix Mercury game on August 6-8 involved an arrest related to this behavior, showing that the authorities are taking these incidents seriously and escalating to legal consequences.
The incident at the Sparks-Fever game was the third in seven days, indicating a recent surge in these events. The WNBA community, including players like Sophie Cunningham, has voiced concern that these acts could cause injury.
Sparks coach Lynne Roberts called the behavior “ridiculous,” “dangerous,” and prioritized player safety. The WNBA is working to ensure that on-court play can continue despite these disruptions, with players and referees doing their best to minimize interruption.
In summary, the WNBA sex toy-throwing incidents of 2025 represent a troubling and unprecedented trend in fan misconduct. With increasing legal repercussions and strong condemnation from players and officials alike, it is hoped that this behaviour will be addressed and stopped in the near future.
