Sex toy thrown on court during Fever-Sparks game in L.A., third such WNBA incident in a week
The object landed on the Crypto.com Arena floor in Los Angeles, near the feet of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham as officials momentarily stopped the game.
Sparks guard Kelsey Plum then kicked it off the floor and play resumed.
'I think its ridiculous. It's dumb, It's stupid,' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts told reporters after the game. 'It's also dangerous and players' safety is No. 1. Respecting the game. All those things. I think it's really stupid. That's all I'm going to say.'
Plum praised both teams and officials for giving the incident little attention in the moment.
"I thought we did a great job, Indiana included, just playing on like, don't give it any attention. And the refs, I really appreciate them too. It's just like, 'Hey, let's go (on with the game).' "
The string of incidents began on Tuesday of last week when a fan hurled a bright green object on to the floor at Gateway Center in College Park, Georgia, during the Golden State Valkyries-Atlanta Dream game.
The second such incident happened Friday during the third quarter of Golden State's game against the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena.

Caitlin Clark's return to Fever lineup remains mystery
Print Close By Ryan Gaydos Published August 21, 2025 Caitlin Clark has been on the bench nursing an injury since the Indiana Fever were on the road against the Connecticut Sun just moments away from the All-Star break. Since then, her return to the floor has been closely guarded. Clark's injured right groin has failed to heal enough for her to even return to the practice floor. Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters that there was no timetable for her to return to the lineup. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON "Until she can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, it's really status quo," she told reporters on Wednesday. To make matters more frustrating, multiple reports indicated on Wednesday that Clark suffered a bone bruise in her left ankle while rehabbing from her groin injury. A source told the Indy Star the ankle issue wouldn't have affected her timeline. Sophie Cunningham, who is also set to miss the rest of the season following a torn MCL against the Sun, dropped a few nuggets about Clark's injury and recovery process. "She doesn't even know (when she'll be back). Literally, it's a day-by-day legit type of thing," she said on the "Show Me Something" podcast. "Yeah, it's close, you have to remember she would be playing if she wasn't in the WNBA right now. At this level, with how deep and how good people are nowadays in our league, which is the best it's ever been just trying to get her back in game shape is what they're trying to do." FEVER STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM HIT WITH THIRD WNBA FINE AFTER PAIGE BUECKERS COMMENT ON HER PODCAST Cunningham insisted she wasn't withholding any information. The Fever said on July 24 that the sharpshooter "underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week, which confirmed that no additional injuries or damage were discovered." Clark's return remains one of the biggest mysteries in the WNBA as the regular season comes to an end. She's missed 22 games so far this season with three separate muscle injuries. She never missed a game in college and played in every Fever game last season when she won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award.

Sparks coach defends Kelsey Plum from ‘dirty player' claims amid suspension calls
The post Sparks coach defends Kelsey Plum from 'dirty player' claims amid suspension calls appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Sparks are trying to make a late push to qualify for the playoffs. Kelsey Plum and company have won nine of their last 11 games, including a victory over the Seattle Storm, 94-91, on Sunday. The Sparks are in ninth place with a 15-16 record. The Storm and the Golden State Valkyries are not too far ahead with 16-16 and 15-15 cards, respectively. The Valkyries are playing the Connecticut Sun, as of writing. Amid the jockeying for position for the playoffs, the game between Los Angeles and Golden State on Saturday got heated. With only four minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Valkyries comfortably ahead, Plum tripped Veronica Burton was whistled for a flagrant foul. The Sparks lost the contest, 72-59. Burton and her teammates took exception to Plum's action. Fans, meanwhile, urged the WNBA to suspend the four-time All-Star and former Sixth Woman of the Year. Sparks coach Lynne Roberts, however, stressed that the 30-year-old playmaker wasn't trying to hurt Burton. 'The flagrant, she was trying to kick the ball. She didn't mean to—I didn't see the replay, but I saw it live, and I know she didn't mean anything by it. She's not a dirty player,' said Roberts in a report from Sports Illustrated's Joey Linn. Plum, who won two titles with the Las Vegas Aces, is one of the fieriest competitors in the league. Even the All-Star Game is very serious for her. Her flagrant foul, however, didn't sit well with many, deeming it a deliberate move. The WNBA has not meted out a sanction for Plum. She was shipped to the Sparks via a three-team trade in the offseason after an alleged clash with Aces coach Becky Hammon. She's averaging team-highs of 19.8 points and 6.1 assists on top of 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals. Los Angeles will battle the New York Liberty on Tuesday.

Azurá Stevens pinpoints key turnaround for Sparks in 2nd half of WNBA season
The post Azurá Stevens pinpoints key turnaround for Sparks in 2nd half of WNBA season appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Sparks continued their hot streak going back to before the All-Star break following their 97-96 win against the Dallas Wings on Friday. With the win, the Sparks improved to 16-17 and temporarily moved into eighth place in the WNBA standings pending the final score of the Seattle Storm's game against the Atlanta Dream. Although the Sparks beat the Wings, the fourth quarter saw Dallas storm back from a double-digit deficit and push the Sparks to the final possession of the game. For veteran forward Azurá Stevens, the Sparks win was a major turnaround from earlier in the year. The Sparks played quite a bit of close games during the early goings of the regular season, but were unable to get over the hump and close games out. In the second half of the season, the Sparks have been able to hang on in crunch time and pull off wins, something that Azurá Stevens chalks up to an increased maturity. 'I think it's just maturity. I think if this was earlier on in the season, we probably would have crumbled when they went on a run. But it shows growth and maturity. Basketball is a game of runs, and we don't freak out when that happens anymore,' Stevens said following the win. 'Now we're steady, we calm down. I thought we got good looks in the fourth quarter, but shots weren't falling.' 'But I think it just speaks to our maturity and growth that we don't panic when teams go on runs,' Stevens continued. 'We find ways to still get wins, which is key.' Part of the Sparks' turnaround has also been the strong play of Stevens. A candidate for the league's Most Improved Player Award, Stevens has been one of the team's veteran leaders and one of the only players on the roster with a championship ring alongside Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby. Coming into Friday, Stevens had appeared in all 32 games for the Sparks, at a little over 28 minutes per game. She was averaging a career-high 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocked shots with splits of 51.4 percent shooting from the field, 42.3 percent shooting from the three-point line and 77.4 percent shooting from the free-throw line. With the exception of her free-throw percentage, all other numbers are career-highs. Back on Aug. 12 before the Sparks' game against the New York Liberty, head coach Lynne Roberts gave an impassioned take on Stevens' candidacy for Most Improved Player. 'If she's not the top vote getter for Most Improved, something's wrong. I think when you talk about Most Improved, a lot of times players will change rosters and so it's a different opportunity. And so if you go from you're coming off the bench, and then you go to another team and now you're starting, that doesn't necessarily show improvement,' Roberts said. 'And so Azurá has been here, and her numbers from last year to his year are drastically improved.' 'She's improved, she's put in the work and she had a great season at Unrivaled. She came in here ready to roll, and she's completely bought in to what we're doing,' Roberts continued. 'I think the system has helped her improve in terms of the numbers as shown. . .there's nobody in the league that's more improved than Azurá Stevens.'
