A'ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo Photo Goes Viral
Social media can be a strange place. One photo surfaces and everyone creates their own soap opera narrative. That was the case when an apparent snapshot of Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson with Miami Heat player Bam Adebayo popped up online.

Bam is part of Team USA training camp for the Olympics, which is taking place in Las Vegas. Of course A'ja plays in Vegas and she will also be in Paris for the games. So if this indeed is a real photograph, all it definitely proves is that both were in the same place at the same time.
It is not my style to venture into gossip, but clearly the pair drew a lot of attention on the internet and Bam's Heat teammate Jamie Jaquez Jr. was actually previously asked about the dating rumors. Jaquez said, "Listen, I'm not saying nothing. I cannot confirm or deny anything I don't know. I plead the 5th," when the question was broached to him during a video game livestream. Some mysteries don't need solving and Wilson and Adebayo are both in the same location for basketball reasons.
When it comes to that, A'ja continues to dominate. She was just named WNBA Western Conference Player of the Week for the second time in a row, that after she broke the Aces franchise scoring record. Wilson is off to a torrid start when it comes to putting points on the board, having scored more points to this point in a season than anyone in league history has before.
