The WNBA has dropped the hammer on the fan who threw an adult toy on the court during a game.
On Thursday night, a green sex toy was thrown on the court, which led to a brief stoppage in play. Dream Center Angel Reese reported the fan, and security apprehended him.

According to Front Office Sports, the fan has been banned indefinitely from all WNBA and NBA games.
A source familiar with the situation told Front Office Sports the individual that threw the dildo was apprehended by arena security and arrested. The individual received an indefinite ban from all WNBA, NBA, and other league-affiliated games and events.
Two people were arrested in 2025 after several fans threw adult sex toys onto WNBA courts.
At the time, the WNBA said it was working with local law enforcement to ensure unruly fans were prosecuted for their actions.
“Working closely with local and federal law enforcement to pursue all appropriate actions—including arrest and prosecution with felony charges where applicable—against anyone engaged in this conduct or otherwise involved in sponsoring this reckless and unacceptable behavior.”
Despite the swift reaction from the league, it doesn’t appear that fans will stop throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts.
