The Sky’s 73-70 victory over the No. 2 Valkyries was interrupted by objects thrown onto the court. SportswireAug icon. 21, 2026 Updated at 11:49 pm EDT The Chicago Sky’s game against the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted in the third quarter when several sex toys were thrown onto the court. At least three objects were thrown, and at least one landed on the court, prompting post-match criticism from Sky players. It was the second day in a row that a WNBA game was interrupted by a spectator throwing a sex toy onto the court, as Thursday’s game between the Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream was also delayed and resulted in the fan receiving a lifetime suspension. Friday’s ION broadcast made no mention of the incident, focusing on Sky’s 73-70 victory, which ended dramatically with a game-winning goal from Sydney Taylor.

The incidents mirror a series of disruptions from last season, when green sex toys were thrown onto WNBA courts in multiple arenas in connection with a cryptocurrency scheme. Sky guard Natasha Cloud criticized the spectators who threw these objects, calling them “stupid.” “The men who are putting it out there also show that you are weak, extremely weak, and it says a lot about how you feel about women,” Cloud said. He added: “That hatred is unjustified. It is not a fact. It says more about that individual’s internal struggles than it will ever say about the collective group.” Taylor called the actions “cheesy.” Last season, sex toys were thrown on or off the court in six games between late July and early August. The trend disappeared shortly after. August 22, 2026 Connections: Sports Edition Find the pattern. Connect the termsFind the hidden link between sports termsPlay today’s puzzle
