Dildo Thrown at Dream-Sparks Game, Reviving WNBA’s 2025 Issue
Angel Reese pointed out the perpetrator in the stands.
During Thursday night's game between the Dream and Sparks at Crypto.com Arena, a green dildo was thrown onto the court. The incident occurred in front of the Sparks bench during the third quarter when Los Angeles forward Jihyun Park was at the free-throw line. The Sparks' star Angel Reese gestured to the stands to point out the perpetrator.
An unidentified individual from the Lakers bench attempted to cover the object with a towel. Sparks center Cameron Brink subsequently kicked the object before security removed it from the court. A video by LoJo Media captured the perpetrator running out from the 100s section, pushing a security guard in the process. It remains uncertain whether the fan was apprehended, arrested, or faced any penalties.
This marks a relapse of the issue that had been resolved for the 2025 season. Last season, dildos were thrown on the court in multiple cities, including Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The WNBA and the Sparks have not yet commented on the incident. The league had previously pledged to work closely with law enforcement to take appropriate actions, including arrests and prosecutions, against anyone involved in this reckless and unacceptable behavior.
In 2025, two individuals were arrested: 18-year-old Kaden Lopez in Phoenix and 23-year-old Delbert Carver in Georgia. A cryptocurrency group claimed responsibility for many of the incidents, with Lopez being one of them, while Carver was not.
