The incidents have drawn outrage from players and fans of a league already subject to continuous racist and misogynist attacks online.

Another man in Phoenix was arrested after police say he threw a sex toy in the crowd at a Mercury game on Tuesday. Police say the 18-year-old pulled the sex toy from his sweater pocket and threw it toward seats in front of him, striking a spectator in the back.

The bizarre practice of throwing sex toys onto the court is becoming increasingly common at WNBA games as these disruptions go viral online, officials said.
