'Why Are They Both Lime Green?': WNBA’s Second Adult Toy Incident Prompts Tari Eason’s Mom To Ask Eerie Similarity

” asked Teroya Eason, mother of Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason, reacting to the incident on X. The toy was tossed courtside just after a dead ball, barely missing several players near the baseline. It was removed by arena staff in seconds, but not before cameras and fans caught it on social media.

This follows an earlier moment when a similar lime green object was thrown during a Las Vegas Aces game—also sparking a mix of laughter, confusion, and concern.

While fans online joked about it being a weird kind of “fan enthusiasm,” others see it as a line that’s been crossed. WNBA players are growing more visible than ever, but visibility isn’t just about going viral—it’s also about safety.

Sky’s Marina Mabrey reacted with a sarcastic, “Is this what equality looks like?” while Storm’s Jewell Loyd reportedly shrugged off the moment but said these things “shouldn’t be happening at all.”

The WNBA has not released an official statement about either incident, but security presence at games is expected to be re-evaluated. Until then, players may have to stay ready—not just for the ball, but apparently, for flying plastic surprises.

With the added seats getting occupied comes a new issue for the WNBA, crowd control.

Sophie Cunningham Pushes Back On WNBA Fan Behavior After Toy Toss

Phoenix Mercury’s Sophie Cunningham is not laughing about the adult toy incidents that have now happened twice during WNBA games.

After the latest one landed during Sunday’s match between Chicago and Seattle, Cunningham went on X and posted, “stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.”

What started as a viral shock moment during the Aces game is now becoming a pattern—and players are growing frustrated. Cunningham, known for her tough play and no-nonsense attitude, made it clear that enough is enough.

This isn’t about being uptight. It’s about staying safe on the court, especially when unexpected items could cause slips or injuries during a fast-paced game.

Some fans still joke about the lime green toys being a weird meme at this point, but players like Cunningham are drawing a line. “Let us hoop,” one user commented in agreement with her post, while others demanded arenas tighten security checks.

With more eyes than ever on the league, this is a moment for fun—but also for respect. Because jokes shouldn’t come at the cost of player safety.
