WNBA star Courtney Williams has come under fire after making a crude sexual joke towards one of her league rivals at the All-Star party.
On Thursday night, the league's biggest names - including the likes of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese - gathered for the start of the two-day event in Indianapolis.
As the festivities got under way, WNBA duo Williams and Natisha Hiedeman began live streaming from their joint channel 'StudBudz'.
As they were on the orange carpet in Indianapolis, Minnesota Lynx star Williams spotted WNBA rival Gabby Williams making her way into the event.
Lynx star Williams declared that she was keen to speak with the Seattle Storm forward and said: 'I've got to let her know [that] she looks good'.
Eventually, Lynx star Williams went over to the American-French forward and reeled off a list of compliments before saying: 'If it don't work out, call me fine s***'.

It appeared that Lynx star Williams was making reference to the rumors that Storm forward Williams is dating fellow WNBA star Marine Johannes. Neither player has confirmed nor denied the claims.
However, back in May, Johannes' New York Liberty teammate Jonquel Jones seemingly confirmed the two players' sexuality and hinted at a relationship.
An Instagram account The Fruit Slice shared a thread regarding the openly gay players in the WNBA.
Jones replied to it: 'A yall missing some of our points! How Gabby on the list but not Marine..? Jaylyn Sherrod? Leo is as well. We number 1 and also we have a 4 out starting 5'.
Fans were quick to point out that Johannes hadn't publicly come out. Jones then said: 'I thought they was out lmao my badddd'.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Lynx star Williams was previously dating N'Shya Seigle and the couple shared an engagement announcement back in November.
However, the post has since been deleted and, during a recent StudBudz stream, she confirmed that she is now single.
Elsewhere on the night, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was spotted enjoying a wild night out as she toasted the beginning of the WNBA's All-Star weekend in style.

The 23-year-old welcomed the biggest names in the WNBA to Indianapolis this week as she prepares to captain one of the teams for Saturday's All-Star game, despite no longer being able to take to the court.
And while Clark appeared bright and breezy during an appearance on Good Morning America Friday morning, she had certainly been enjoying herself the night before when she and her peers descended on Indianapolis nightclub, INVY, for the All Star Champagne Launch Party.
In several videos shared to social media, the guard could be seen bopping along to the music with a drink in hand.
At one point, Clark had found her way behind the DJ booth with her arm wrapped around the emcee. When he thrust the microphone in her face and asked if she was 'ready to turn up' Clark let out shout of 'woo' and hoisted her can, which appeared to be a hard seltzer, into the air.
