Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo and Las Vegas Aces all-time top scorer A'ja Wilson made the rounds on social media on Tuesday. The pair of stars were reportedly linked to one another for the last couple of weeks and a recent picture showed them hanging out in Las Vegas.
Team USA is having its camp in Vegas, which explains why Adebayo is there. A'ja Wilson plays for the Aces, the defending WNBA champion that plays at Michelob ULTRA Arena. A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by @nbagossippp, showed the Heat and the Aces stars next to each other.
Plenty of fans reacted to the picture, with most of them sharing their excitement for the alleged couple. Some wondered about the 'future kid' of the pair, joking about the talent they'll own.

"I don’t mind this couple," one fan said.
"Yeah that child is the number 1 pick," another fan wrote.
"Them kids already getting scholarship offers," a third fan said.
Others shared their surprise and skepticism about the picture, wondering why this isn't a common thing between NBA and WNBA players.
"This is legit the first time I’ve ever seen an NBA player with a WNBA player.. Why is there not more of this 😅," somebody said.
Another fan credited Bam Adebayo for helping A'ja Wilson improve her defense.
Bam Adebayo recently attended a Las Vegas Aces game with LeBron James, Damian Lillard
Last month, LeBron James and his wife Savannah stole the spotlight when they attended a Las Vegas Aces game. The couple was accompanied by agent Rich Paul. Moreover, videos showed that Bam Adebayo and Damian Lillard were also in attendance.
At the time, this was seen as three NBA stars showing support to the sister league, but after learning about these rumors, Adebayo might have been there to support a specific player.
Right now he's getting ready for the upcoming Paris Olympic Games and seemingly taking advantage of his situation to see Wilson.
A'ja Wilson made Las Vegas Aces history on Sunday
A'ja Wilson lived a historic night against the Dallas Wings on Sunday, scoring 28 points against her opponents, becoming the all-time scoring leader in Las Vegas Aces history.
Wilson surpassed Sophia Young-Malcolm, earning a standing ovation from fans. This season can be magical for her, as she's a favorite to win both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year award (DPOY) at the end of the campaign.
