Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is speaking out after an adult object was thrown onto a WNBA court for the second time this week.

During a contest between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky on Friday night, a fan launched said object onto the court of play, forcing the officials to stop the game. It was the second time this had happened to the Valkyries in four days; a similar situation took place in their matchup against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday.

Cunningham, following her own game against the Dallas Wings, took to X (formerly Twitter) to make a plea about what's happening.

"Stop throwing dildos on the court…" she wrote. "You’re going to hurt one of us."

stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.

She has a point. Anything thrown on the court can be a hazard to other fans, coaches, officials, and, of course, the athletes playing in the game.
