Caitlin Clark's BFF's plea to fans throwing adult toys on court: 'Going to hurt us'
The WNBA game had to be stopped so the referee could remove the sex toy that someone had chucked on the court during the game.
Viewer discretion advised; NSFW video ahead.
What does the video show?
The clip shows a green item being thrown on court during the game. When the referee goes to check it, one can see it is a sex toy, particularly a dildo. The item is removed from the court and an attendant picks it up, wrapped in a cloth, to allow the game to continue.

Notably, this is the second time in a week that an untoward object has been thrown on court, and that too during a Valkyries game.
How WNBA star Sophie Cunningham reacted
Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham took to X to address the issue, saying 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.'
Cunningham, herself, has meanwhile been in the news and not all of it has been for her actions on the court. Recently, before Fever's game against Chicago Sky, Cunningham sported a 'Hot Girls Eat Arby's' tee-shirt, and later announced on Instagram that she was partnering with the fast food chain.
During the Chicago vs Indiana game, Cunningham also seemingly lost her balance and fell on a cameraman who was sitting courtside. Videos of the fall began to circulate online with the caption saying 'Cunningham sat on the cameraman's face'.
In the clip, Cunningham can be seen trying to throw the ball, while running backwards, and the momentum makes her lose her balance, so she almost sits on what appears to be a cameraman's face on the side of the court. However, the Fever player who is Caitlin Clark's reported BFF, immediately realizes the situation and picks herself up to continue the game.

66 no less than a century: When batter Akash Deep thrilled Shubman Gill, teammates
Shubman Gill and the Indian team were left in awe of Akash Deep's performance with the bat on Day 3 of the Oval Test. Having come in as a nightwatchman on Day 2, Akash showed incredible poise during his innings of 66 from 94 balls and hitting 12 boundaries in the process. His 107-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a hundred, helped India put up a target of 374 runs for England to chase to win the match. While Akash has played entertaining cameos during his career so far, this was an innings of substance that had his captain and teammates singing his praises. In a video released by the BCCI, Gill said that the knock was nothing short of hundred for the team. advertisement"I think these 66 runs of Akash — it's no less than a century," said Gill. The Indian captain revealed that there has been constant banter between the batters and bowlers in the team. He said that the batters constantly keep telling the tailenders to contribute with some runs and the Indian captain felt that Akash settled all the scores with his knock. "For a long time, there's always been this banter going on between us. The batters keep saying, 'You lower-order bowlers, contribute a bit, man.' What to say — I think in this match, they settled all scores with us," said Gill. Akash certainly got a lot of tips along the way with batting coach Sitanshu Kothak and KL Rahul revealing what they told the pacer ahead of Day 3. Kothak said that he told Akash to go for a big shot if the ball was in his arc, rather than defending. "Yesterday when he was in the lift after we reached the hotel, I told him — 'Akash, if you get it in the slot tomorrow, just hit it. Don't defend compulsorily, because in the last two innings you got out defending,'" said Kothak. Rahul said that he advised Akash to think like a batter and not to throw his wicket away. "Yeah, this morning, just had a brief chat and told him to think like a batter and, you know, not throw his wicket away," said KL Rahul. Jaiswal and Prasidh Krishna also praised Akash for his knock in the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Team India (@indiancricketteam)'I'm not going to get out'Akash revealed his mindset during the knock and said that he told himself that he was not going to get out and throw away his wicket. "Last night when I went to sleep, my mindset was that I'm not going to get out. If the ball gets me out, that's a different thing — but I won't throw my wicket. Even if the ball hits the body or hits anywhere, I have to play. Where there was a need to play the ball, I did. With Jaiswal, we had a partnership of over 100 runs — so that's very special for me," said Akash. Akash said, while the fifty was dear to him, the knock was made special by the fact that he spent more than two hours in the middle for the team. "That fifty is special for me, but more special than that is that I played two hours in the morning for the team — that is very special for me," said Akash. The knock from Akash even brought out a smile from India coach Gautam Gambhir as it gave India the advantage on the day. - EndsTune InMust Watch

Hrithik Roshan's Latest Look Breaks The Internet, Fans Call Him ‘Greek God'
Actor is gearing up for War 2. The film is already generating massive buzz thanks to its action-packed trailer. Hrithik Roshan is once again proving why he's called the style icon of Bollywood. The actor, gearing up for the much-awaited release of War 2, recently dropped new photos in a sharply tailored suit, and fans are completely losing it. Note that War 2 also stars Kiara Advani and Jr NTR in the lead role. Taking to his Instagram handle, Hrithik Roshan shared a series of photos in suits and wrote, 'Thank you Sri Lanka for a memorable evening. See you soon in the cinemas 14th aug #WAR2." One of the fan wrote, 'Tenu Suit always suit kar da! Dashing Duggu as always." Another wrote, 'Hrithik, you are Amazing!!! Mr. Perfect!" Many called his Greek God. Take a look here: Recently, the superstar has launched a contest based on the hookstep of the recently released romantic track Aavan Jaavan, and the reward? A chance to meet the man himself. Taking to Instagram on Friday (August 1), Hrithik unveiled the challenge in a video message, urging fans to recreate the song's now-viral dance step. 'My latest song Aavan Jaavan from War 2 is out now and YRF is doing a contest on the hook step. Iss gaane ka hookstep kaafi simple aur easy hai… Toh kariye Aavan Jaavan ka hookstep Kabir aur Kavya ke jaise to join and maybe win this contest," he said. Released on July 31, Aavan Jaavan is already setting the tone for the film's romantic subplot. Featuring Hrithik and Kiara Advani amid the breathtaking backdrops of Europe, the song has all the hallmarks of a Bollywood blockbuster melody — sweeping visuals, sizzling chemistry, and soaring vocals by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi. Meanwhile, War 2 is already generating massive buzz thanks to its action-packed trailer. Directed by Brahmāstra helmer Ayan Mukerji, the film brings together Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in a never-seen-before pairing that promises fireworks. The sequel to 2019's War, this next installment in the YRF Spy Universe is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic spectacles of the year. With themes of patriotism, espionage, and high-octane drama, War 2 is all set to raise the stakes in the spy-action genre. From thunderous face-offs to sizzling romance, fans can expect a full-blown cinematic experience when the film hits theatres later this year. But before that, it's time to dance like Kabir and Kavya — and maybe, just maybe, meet Hrithik himself. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Playing in WNBA is the bigger goal
Harsimran Kaur (WNBA) Having just signed for Greek basketball club Esperides Kallitheas, Harsimran 'Honey' Kaur Dhami is set to become the first Indian female to play professional basketball in Europe. In a sport where statistics make for hot discussion, she must like the sound of that stat. 'I mean, who wouldn't?' she replies with a chuckle in a telephonic chat with TOI . 'Like, it's definitely great to hear. I always wanted to do that. But at the same time, it's a lot of pressure to kind of carry because you're really just representing your whole country. I wouldn't want anyone else to have that pressure but me, I think that's definitely just all the work that I put in.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pressure, however, is something the 22-year-old Honey has learnt to accept over the years. It's something she was trained, and trained hard to endure by a father, who, in her own words, didn't treat her 'like a daughter', right from her introduction to basketball as a 7-year-old. 'Growing up in the small town Kapurthala in Punjab, there was not really a woman's team anywhere. So it's just watching my dad every day, because he used to play basketball. So he would go to practice every day and I would just go with him, stand by the pool and just watch him play.' Considering it to be a 'weird game' at first, curiosity got the better of the innocent 7-year-old girl and she soon prodded her father, and asked if she could join him and his group. It was not exactly an ideal beginning. 'I'm playing with these 40-yearold, 35-year old dudes and they're like beating me up and I'm thinking, 'this is not for me, what is this? what am I doing'? And my dad would go, 'just put the ball in the hoop'. Poll Do you believe that representation of women in sports is important? Absolutely! Somewhat important. Not really. It was simply the first of many sporting lessons Sukhdev Singh Dhami would go on to teach his daughter. Excited as she is about starting a new chapter of this inspiring story in Greece, Honey remains in pursuit of a bigger goal. 'The job is not done yet. Like, I haven't touched the WNBA yet. I know it's a big deal to be Europe's first Indian female player, but I think it would be an even, even, even, even bigger deal if I became the first Indian to ever play WNBA.'
