WNBA star Sophie Cunningham was hit by a sex toy thrown onto the court during a game in Los Angeles. The incident is the third time this has happened in an eight-day span, sparking concerns for player safety.
Cunningham, who plays for the Indiana Fever, had previously spoken out about the issue, warning fans to stop throwing objects onto the court. However, she was hit by a green sex toy during the game on August 5, which landed near her feet after glancing off her left leg.
“It’s ridiculous, it’s dumb, it’s stupid,” said Sparks coach Lynne Roberts. “It’s also dangerous and we need to prioritize players’ safety.”
Cunningham had warned of the potential consequences if a player were to be hit by such an object, saying that it could lead to serious injuries or even break someone’s nose.
The incident has sparked outrage among fans and fellow players, with Cunningham encouraging them to stop the behavior. The WNBA is investigating the matter and taking steps to ensure player safety.
