Second WNBA match disrupted by the introduction of sex toys; Sophie Cunningham, Fever star, expresses her thoughts on the matter
In a bizarre turn of events, a game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky was disrupted by a lime green adult toy that flew from the stands and landed on the court. Despite the distraction, the Valkyries managed to secure a victory with a score of 73-66.
The incident occurred in the third quarter of the game, with about one minute left to play. The officials did not immediately stop play once the object was thrown. The specifics of the first incident, such as the teams involved and the timing, were not detailed in the reports.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in the WNBA. Recently, a similar disruption took place in a match between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream. The ongoing trend has prompted concern from players, including Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, who issued a public service announcement asking people to stop throwing such objects onto the court.
Cunningham's concern is shared by many players, as stepping on such objects could cause injury. The disruption of games by these toys has drawn attention and concern, particularly over player safety and the integrity of the games.
Despite the distraction, the Valkyries managed to maintain their composure, with Veronica Burton leading the team with 18 points in the victory. No new information was provided about Elizabeth Williams, Janelle Salaun, Allisha Gray, or Veronica Burton in this regard.
Sky star Angel Reese jokingly blamed Fever guard Sydney Colson for the incident, adding to the light-hearted banter between the two teams. However, the identity of the person who threw the object remains unknown.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of sportsmanship and the need to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all players and fans. The WNBA has yet to comment on any potential measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
