“Teammate’s Tease: Jaime Jaquez Jr. Adds Fuel to Bam Adebayo and A’ja Wilson Dating Rumors”.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s response when asked if Bam Adebayo and A’ja Wilson are in a relationship.
When inquired about his teammate Bam Adebayo’s relationship with Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson, Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. gave a peculiar response. Although Jaquez offered no confirmation, his statement is bound to cause some people to take notice.
The 27-year-old Wilson is a rising star in the WNBA who has already claimed two MVP titles. She has also won two Defensive Player of the Year awards, two WNBA championships, one WNBA Finals MVP award, and five All-Star selections. She is currently preparing for an incredible 2024 season. She has made 14 appearances and averages 27.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 52.4 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from long range per game.
Wilson and Adebayo, if they are dating, undoubtedly have one thing in common: they are both top defensive players in their respective leagues. Adebayo in the NBA and Wilson in the WNBA are two of the top defenders in their respective leagues. The Heat player has been named to five All-Defensive teams and has gone close to winning numerous times, but he has never taken home a Defensive Player of the Year trophy like Wilson has twice.
Adebayo was selected for the third time as an All-Star in the NBA in 2023–24. He concluded the season averaging 19.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. Jaquez obviously didn’t want to reveal his teammate’s personal information to the public, if there was any communication at all between Adebayo and Wilson. But since Jaquez did virtually little to stop the rumors, they will probably continue.
While the NBA is on break, Wilson’s Aces are hard at work attempting to win a third straight WNBA championship. They would give anything to complete the task once more after winning the league championship in 2022 and 2023. However, Las Vegas is only two games over.500 at 8-6, indicating that the squad is having a difficult season thus far. For comparison, the 2023 regular season saw the Aces lose just six games (34-6).
With the WNBA growing popularity, the league has an opportunity this summer to grab some huge attention during a rather slow time of year in the sports world. It’ll be fascinating to see whether Wilson’s squad starts to heat up soon.
