A’ja Wilson spotted with Bam Adebayo after WNBA milestone as dating rumors flare

A’ja Wilson’s special week in Indianapolis continued Thursday with a casual outing involving a rumored love interest.

Shortly after making league history on Wednesday by scoring the most points in a single WNBA season, the Las Vegas Aces star took the court with Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat, with whom she has been linked since the summer.

The pair were seen walking together in new photos published Sunday by TMZ, which reported that Wilson, 28, and Adebayo, 27, “were among a group of people walking on Market Street.”

The Fever hosted the Aces for two straight games this week, with Wilson breaking the previous WNBA record for most points in a season (Jewell Lloyd’s 939 points in 2023) in Las Vegas’ 86-75 win on Wednesday.

Wilson reached the milestone in the first half and finished the game with a season-high 956 points, according to the Associated Press.

“I don’t want to sound cliché when I say this, but I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without all of my teammates. I’m so grateful to play with selfless women,” said the two-time WNBA champion.

The Aces — who concluded their road trip to Indiana on Friday with a 78-74 win over the Fever — appeared to capitalize on the Adebayo hype at X, captioning a post on Wednesday celebrating Wilson’s accomplishment with the caption, “BAM!”

Wilson responded to the post with a curious gif.

Wilson-Adebayo was last seen days after a strange appearance in South Florida, where the Heat star received a key to Miami-Dade County after winning a gold medal at the Olympics with the U.S. men’s national basketball team.

Even Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava criticized Wilson’s presence.

Adebayo and Wilson first sparked romance when they were photographed together before the Olympics in July.

The two shook hands on the court in Paris as Wilson won a gold medal with the US women’s basketball team.

Wilson and the Aces (24-13) return to action on Sunday when they host the Connecticut Sun.

This season she is averaging 27 points per game, 12.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
