On Sunday, Bam Adebayo's latest post on X had NBA fans discussing his relationship with A'ja Wilson. The Miami Heat center and the Las Vegas Aces star haven't commented on their relationship, but they have been seen together on multiple occasions.
Before the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team USA trained in Las Vegas, where Adebayo and Wilson spent time together. They were also seen getting into a car after clinching gold for the men's and women's teams respectively.
"Do people still iron their clothes?? Or did it stop after Covid?" the Heat star posted.

Bam Adebayo's potential role change for the Heat next season
The Heat are focused on making a serious playoff run next season, but that could depend on how well the stars perform. Jimmy Butler is in the final year of his contract, and the Heat could consider replacing him as the first option.
Having Bam Adebayo as the new first option might work out well. The 6-foot-9 center is still young at 27-years-old and has a lot to offer compared to the 34-year-old Butler.
In a story published last week, Sports Illustrated's Anthony Pasciolla wrote about an anonymous NBA scout talking about this possibility. Pasciolla reported:
"I think Bam would rather be a Swiss Army knife. I don't know if Bam wants to do that [be the No. 1 option]," Pasciolla reported. "I think he'd be happy with 18, 12, and 6 type of numbers. You can see it sometimes, it's not that he can't be the man, it's I don't need to be the man."
While having Adebayo as the first option could work out well for the Heat, it remains to be seen whether the center wants to take on that level of responsibility.
