WNBA star Kahleah Copper’s wig falls off mid-game — and fan gets ejected for mocking her
NY Post ^ | 7/29/25 | Ryan Giancola

A wardrobe malfunction caused some unexpected chaos during a WNBA matchup between the Washington Mystics and Phoenix Mercury on Sunday.

Late in the third quarter in Washington, the Mercury were on offense when All-Star Kahleah Copper tried to get open by maneuvering around a screen set by her teammate. Copper quickly scooped up her locks and ran towards the locker room, and a time out was called on the floor.

Commentator Mehgan McPeak reacted to the incident by repeating two words. “Oh no,” McPeak reacted, “Oh no, Oh no, she’s going to head to the back. Oh no.” Mercury teammates then picked up on a fan mocking Copper about the situation. It led to the team asking the officials to notify arena security to have the fan ejected.

I’ve been watching the replays of the incident on YouTube and it’s interesting that the only official video out there is very dark and you cannot really see what happened. People have taken it and enhanced it and lightened it... it looks like Copper has male pattern baldness. The whole top of her(?) head is shiny bald with fuzz on the sides, like George Jefferson. All the commenters were posting “It’s Juwanna Mann!” I didn’t know what that was and had to look it up. Welp, it could be... I mean, Brittany Griner is obviously a dude, so Phoenix may have more than one.

WNBA is a comedy show period.

THAT is clever!

To paraphrase the Sy Sperling Hair Club For Men ad, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore were not only presidents, they were clients of the Whig party.

NOT to be confused with :

It could be worse - What if a WNBA player had her merkin drop out of her shorts? Ewww ...

I don’t think anybody could bear the expense of throwing out a Sybian onto the court :

Ms. Bueckers is a lesbian. Her girlfriend is one of her college teammates.

Exactly. That's why she's "cool" and CC is not.

You won't hear this from sports media. I don't have the numbers but I can guess that most of the WNBA players are not heterosexual.

It's one of the main reasons why the league was not able to market itself to fans.

Are the playoffs two rounds, best of 7?

Throw a giant, fake hairy tarantula on the court before the game.

(In the old days of the NHL, it took 8 wins to get a Stanley Cup — 2 rounds, best of 7) — Detroit Red Wing fans threw an octopus on the ice.

I agree, any fan throwing an object at a player should be ejected.

Private property: Owner sets the rules...including 1A and 2A.

Correct. It’s NOT a 1A violation.

Bingo.

1A begins “CONGRESS shall not...”

Does NOT apply to private property owners.

What does ‘Air Ball’ mean?

When a player shoots and misses everything - backboard, rim, net.

I once held the opinion that the WNBA did really not deserve to exist, because the teams and league all operated at a loss. I have changed my opinion because they provide such fine comedy value on a regular basis. I would never have believed that a league in a sport I do not watch, playing games I will never see, by players I have no interest in, could be so fascinatingly stupid and childish that I actually look forward to the next totally absurd outburst or occurrence. It is hard to admit this is entertaining.
