There is good news and bad news for the WNBA, which has finally received a short break from the trans drama that dominated attention earlier in the summer, as reported by Fox News.

All had been quiet on that front for a few days, offering what felt like a brief summer vacation from the serious arguments.

The bad news is that the league's infamous sex toy drama has suddenly returned.

After last summer produced a serial sex toy thrower and weeks of bizarre scenes, the latest incident brought the WNBA right back to those simpler and much stranger times.

The summer has otherwise been filled with fights over serious issues, despite the left insisting that they are not serious. Those debates have been important but exhausting, making this unexpected return to ridiculousness feel like a dramatic trip back to basics.

That happened last night in Los Angeles, where a sex toy appeared to make its way onto the court during the third quarter of the game between the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks.

The location somehow made the whole scene feel even less surprising.

Angel Reese was quick to point out the alleged perpetrator after the object appeared.

Her reaction instantly became part of an almost impossibly perfect sequence involving the returning green sex toy, the action on the court, and video that appeared to show the alleged man fleeing the scene.

This incident had everything required to revive one of the weirdest WNBA stories from last summer, including Reese making it completely clear that she had noticed what happened.

The green sex toy itself was already familiar to anyone who followed the league last year.

Its appearance, Reese's response, and footage of the alleged man leaving combined to produce a moment that immediately brought back memories of the previous summer's chaos.

Reese, wearing No. 5 for Atlanta, had also been pictured reacting during a WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream on Aug. 16, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ga.

She later faced Cameron Brink of the Los Angeles Sparks during the first half at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif., on Aug. 20, 2026.

For anyone who forgot or successfully blocked it from memory, the WNBA dealt with a serious sex toy problem for about three weeks last year.

Purple and green objects were tossed onto courts during various games on random nights, and the incidents quickly became the subject everyone was discussing.

Fans were left on high alert as nobody knew when or where the next object might appear. The situation became so absurd that betting markets eventually allowed wagers on the color of the next sex toy to reach the floor, turning the entire spectacle into the Wild Wild West.

By August, two arrests had eventually been made in connection with the bizarre trend.

Sophie Cunningham was also hit by one of the objects before she became a household name, adding another memorable chapter to a story that had already overwhelmed attention around the league.

Cunningham had even jokingly warned people about the danger only days before she was struck by the projectile.

She posted, "Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us," delivering a message that soon became far more relevant than she could have expected.

After Cunningham was hit, she returned to her earlier post with a perfectly concise reaction to how events had unfolded.

"This did NOT age well," she added in the aftermath, showing a sense of humor about the unusual situation even before many people knew who she was.

That response helped make Cunningham likable during last summer's madness.

Reese, however, did not appear to share the same sense of humor when the familiar green object returned during the Dream and Sparks game in Los Angeles.

The incident offered an unexpected break from the heavier disputes surrounding the WNBA while reviving a spectacle few could have predicted would return.

Between the object reaching the court, Reese's unmistakable reaction, and the alleged man's apparent escape, the strange sequence somehow delivered another instantly memorable WNBA moment.
