NYC man wearing Beavis and Butthead T-shirt wanted for throwing sex toy at Liberty game: NYPD
The man with tattoos up and down his arms is shown in security cam footage at the Barclays Center wearing a red and black hat, black shorts, and donning the depraved cartoon duo on a T-shirt, according to Crime Stoppers.
On Tuesday, an unruly attendee at the Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty launched a green sex toy towards the court.

3 A man wearing a 'Beavis and Butthead' shirt is wanted for allegedly throwing a green sex toy at a Liberty WNBA game on Aug. 5, 2025.
Crime Stoppers
He was apparently inspired by the current trend of sex-toy-crazed hooligans attending WNBA games across the country.
The sex toy at the Barclays Center did not hit the hardwood — but instead startled a 12-year-old girl sitting with her mother in section 116.

'The object was thrown from someone much higher up but definitely in the same section,' a fan who was in section 116 texted The Post.
'When it landed, the girl started screaming/freaking out (understandably) for like 30 [seconds] and got the attention of most people within the surrounding rows,' according to the witness.
Barclays Center officials snatched the sex toy up and the Liberty game continued uninterrupted with the home team taking the wind out of the Wings with an 85-76 victory.
The Brooklyn dildo incident was one of two WNBA games to see rubber phallic doohickeys thrown in stadiums last Tuesday — with Indiana Fever Sophie Cunningham star directly hit by a green dildo during a game against the Los Angeles Sparks.

The lurid trend is coming with consequences for some dildo chuckers.

Kaden Lopez, 18, was arrested and booked on disorderly conduct, assault, and public display of explicit sexual material by Phoenix, Az., police last week for hurling a green dildo inside PHX Arena during a Mercury game.
A crypto group that launched a meme coin called 'Green Dildo Coin' (DILDO) is claiming to be responsible for the unwanted and tasteless disruptions.

How to watch Lynx vs. Liberty: Injuries put new stars in the spotlight for WNBA Rivals Week
A premier WNBA Rivals Week showdown begins in Brooklyn. The league-leading Minnesota Lynx visit the defending champion New York Liberty at 12:30 p.m. ET this Sunday. Minnesota arrives without MVP front-runner Napheesa Collier, who sprained her right ankle on Aug. 2 and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Meanwhile, New York counters with its own hole in the marquee: Breanna Stewart is out indefinitely with a right knee bone bruise. Still, there's plenty of reason to tune in to this WNBA Finals rematch. How to watch Minnesota Lynx at New York Liberty Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn Time: 12:30 p.m. ET, Sunday TV: ABC Streaming: Fubo (Save $20) Watching in person? Get tickets on StubHub. Live coverage is also available on ESPN+. Without Collier, Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve will stretch Kayla McBride from three and lean on Courtney Williams in the middle third, with Jessica Shepard and Alanna Smith owning the glass. The Lynx also recently acquired DiJonai Carrington from Dallas for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round pick, a defense-minded move that only strengthens their top-ranked unit. The Liberty have won three in a row since halting a four-game slide. Sabrina Ionescu dropped 36 points and 11 rebounds at Connecticut on Aug. 3. Former WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman also chipped in 13 points, two blocks and a steal in her second game as New York followed with an 85-76 win against Dallas, the first of two straight victories over the Wings. The hinge is simple: finish possessions and value the ball. If New York controls the defensive glass and runs McBride off rhythm catch-and-shoots, it tilts home. If Minnesota wins the turnover game and frees Carrington in transition, it travels. This is the first Barclays meeting since last year's Finals and the second of four total matchups between these two this season. The Lynx play three straight against the Liberty from Aug. 10-19, while New York has five total games over that same stretch.

Lexie Hull Is Getting Praised By Everyone On Saturday
Lexie Hull Is Getting Praised By Everyone On Saturday originally appeared on The Spun. They may not have the best record in the WNBA and they may not have Caitlin Clark, but the Indiana Fever are still one of the league's most fun teams to watch. Lexie Hull has helped a lot with that. The Fever took on the Chicago Sky today following back-to-back losses. Once again they were without Clark, but that didn't matter as Hull, Kelsey Mitchell, Sophie Cunningham and Aliyah Boston took over. While her 17 points were second to Mitchell's game-leading 26, she was clearly locked in. Hull went an impressive 4-of-6 six on three point attempts, making several shots that were so impressive that even Clark was jumping into the air. The end result was a dominant performance by the Fever in a 92-70 win. By the end of the game, she not only had a new season-high for points, she had a new career milestone: 100 career steals. Reaction Between her strong performance and her new milestone, fans were heaping praise onto Hull after the game. "Love watching her play defense. Gives 110% all the time," one user wrote on X. "Lexi hitting them corner 3's. Got your mojo back girlie!" another wrote. "She has stolen all of our hearts! Keep being awesome Lexie!" wrote a third. "This is just the beginning… the best chapters of our beloved Lexie Hull's story are still to come!" "Let's go Lexie! Bounce back game." "Just a thief on the court bro! Nobody is safe around the ball snatcher!" A future or current star? Hull has been a key part of the Fever for the past four seasons now. But in the absence of Caitlin Clark, the team has needed just about everyone to step up. Fan-favorite Sophie Cunningham has done a good job of replacing Clark on the court, but she isn't enough on her own. Hull, Cunningham, Boston and Mitchell will need to keep having nights like tonight if they want to keep this team in WNBA title contention while patiently waiting for Clark to get healthy. Have we seen the best that this team has to offer? Lexie Hull Is Getting Praised By Everyone On Saturday first appeared on The Spun on Aug 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
