What started as a tense and thrilling WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries turned into something totally unexpected—and honestly, bizarre.
With the game tied at 75-75 and just over a minute left on the clock, fans were on the edge of their seats.
But that tension was broken when something very unexpected flew from the stands right onto the court.
A Bright Green Distraction Shocks Everyone
In the final quarter of the game, a bright green sex toy was suddenly hurled onto the court.
Yep—you read that right. The lewd object, clearly visible to players and fans, landed near the action as the Valkyries were on the attack.
While a few players seemed alarmed, the referees chose not to stop the game immediately and let the play continue.
Officials Step In… Eventually
Once the Valkyries’ possession came to an end, the officials finally blew the whistle and paused the game.
The players and coaching staff looked visibly confused, and even the broadcast team didn’t quite know how to react—at one point, the camera awkwardly zoomed in on the object, making things even more surreal.
Police Handle the Scene as Fans React
It wasn’t long before a police officer stationed courtside stepped in to remove the item.
Footage showed a fan passing the officer a piece of cloth to safely pick it up.
In the background, the stadium’s public address system issued a warning, letting fans know that throwing anything on the court would lead to immediate ejection.
Commentators and Fans Slam the Slow Response
Commentators covering the game couldn’t hide their disbelief.
They criticized the delay in stopping the game and questioned why security hadn’t quickly ejected the individual responsible.
Their take was clear: “There’s no place for this kind of behavior in professional sports.”
Social Media Can’t Believe What Happened
As soon as footage of the moment hit social platforms, it spread like wildfire.
WNBA fans across Twitter and TikTok reacted with a mix of shock, humor, and disbelief.
Memes, commentary, and even slow-motion replays flooded timelines within minutes.
Valkyries Push Through the Distraction and Grab a Win
Despite the very public distraction and the momentary chaos, the Golden State Valkyries managed to stay focused.
They rallied in the final seconds and pulled off a narrow 77-75 win over the Dream.
It was a much-needed victory—only their fourth on the road this season and a break in what could’ve been a four-game losing streak.
Zandalasini Leads the Way on a Strange Night
Golden State’s Cecilia Zandalasini put up an impressive performance amid all the madness.
She scored 18 points, pulled down eight rebounds, and added two assists—leading her team both statistically and emotionally through the chaos.
