"Sophie Cunningham just got hit with a green d*ildo" - WNBA fans lose it as another green s*x toy is thrown on court during Fever vs Sparks

For the third time this season, a fan threw a green sex toy onto the court during a WNBA game, but this time it hit a player. Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever was struck by the object in the second quarter against the LA Sparks inside the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday.

With around two minutes left in the first half, Kelsey Plum hit a free throw before a flying green object appeared to strike Cunningham on the leg. Plum kicked the object off the floor and checked on the Fever guard, who was unfazed.

Players, coaches and officials immediately looked toward the stands, with security trying to find the perpetrator.

Here's a video of the incident.

The game was briefly stopped to ensure the safety of the players. It's unclear if the perpetrator was caught and escorted out of the arena, but fans could be heard booing after the game resumed.

WNBA fans online reacted to the incident, with some expressing disbelief at the flying dildo hitting Sophie Cunningham.

The first incident happened on July 29 during a game between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream in Atlanta. It occurred again on Aug. 1 when the Valkyries faced the Sky in Chicago.

The WNBA announced over the weekend that the perpetrator in Atlanta was arrested and charged.

Sophie Cunningham's request to fans falls on deaf ears

After a fan threw a green adult toy during the Golden State Valkyries-Chicago Sky game, Sophie Cunningham called on fans to be more responsible.

"Stop throwing dildos on the court. You're going to hurt one of us," she tweeted.

Cunningham's teammate, Sydney Colson, jokingly took responsibility and even created a persona called "mean green."
