"She gotta get out the arena" - NBA fans react to A'ja Wilson sitting courtside for Bam Adebayo’s game against Hornets

NBA fans couldn't help but poke fun at Bam Adebayo after spotting Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson sitting courtside for the Miami Heat's game against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night. The three-time WNBA MVP has been linked to the Heat big man, and her presence at the game added fuel to the dating rumors.

After fans spotted her at the arena, one said Adebayo couldn't play badly in front of Wilson.

This sparked a series of comments mocking Bam Adebayo's performance, with some suggesting that A'ja Wilson's presence made him feel nervous.

"She gotta get out the arena he looks terrible Lmaoo," one said.

Here are other fan reactions:

"Maybe he’s nervous 😂😂," a fan wondered.

"Playin bad in front of his girl 😭," one fan said.

"He’s embarrassing his girl 💔💔💔," another said

"I know he embarrassing her rn lmao," another added.

One fan jokingly wondered about Wilson's attendance in the game.

"It’s crazy how a’ja just randomly decided to go to a hornets game I wonder why," the fan said.

Bam Adebayo didn't have the best performance against the Hornets. He only scored 12 points on 6-for-17 shooting, missing his two 3-point attempts and his lone shot from the free-throw line. While his offensive game struggled, he grabbed 11 rebounds and dished three assists while getting a steal and a block.

A'ja Wilson attended special event for Bam Adebayo earlier this week

This game wasn't the only time A'ja Wilson attended an event involving Bam Adebayo. Earlier this week, the WNBA MVP was present when the big man teamed up with Dwyane Wade to unveil a new court for the Miami community.

Rumors about their possible relationship surfaced when they were seen at a restaurant before spending time together in Paris, where they both played for Team USA during the Olympics. Both were successful with their respective squads, winning gold medals against Team France.

Once they returned to the U.S., the rumors didn't stop and this week's developments have added fuel to the rumors. The two have yet to confirm their relationship, but people around them have found ways to make fun of this situation.

In September, the Miami Heat's official X (formerly Twitter) account shared a picture of Bam Adebayo with a caption that was a play on Wilson's first name after news surfaced of her MVP win.

"A’random photo of Bam on this lovely Sunday."

The rumors are likely to continue, especially with Wilson attending Adebayo's events.
