The incident occurred during the Atlanta Dream’s clash against the Golden State Valkyries.
The score was tied at 75-75 with less than a minute to play.
Players suddenly stopped, and it became clear something had happened.
The television broadcast then zoomed into a bright green object on the floor by the side of the court.
Fans couldn’t believe what just happened and expressed their shock on X.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes at first,” one said.
“Ain’t no way,” another commented.
“I can’t take this league serious anymore lmao,” one more laughed.
And one viewer joked the throw was “the best pass made all night.”
The game was briefly held up while players, coaches and arena staff discussed the issue.
A police officer sat court side eventually removed the object with a piece of cloth.
Fans were warned by the public address announcer that throwing objects on court would lead to an ejection.
Broadcasters were shocked that the game continued with less than a minute left.
And they called for the fan who threw the object to be removed from the arena.
Golden State put the disruption aside to secure a 77-75 win.
They survived a late fourth-quarter collapse to hang on for a tight win.
The Atlanta Dream play their home games at the Gateway Center Arena.
The facility opened in 2019 at a cost of $45 million.
It is located in College Park, Georgia and seats 3,500 fans for basketball games.
The College Park Skyhawks in the NBA G-League also play at the arena.
