"Hope everybody finds A'thousand reasons to smile on this lovely Sunday."
Fans who responded to the tweet were confident in their speculations that the duo have been dating for some time now, and Adebayo's message was all but making it a public announcement.

Soon after Bam Adebayo's viral tweet congratulating A'ja Wilson on her historic night, the 2x WNBA MVP responded with a cheeky response of her own.
Wilson is in the middle of a solid scoring season and has been a double-double metronome for the Las Vegas Aces. In the win vs the Sun, she propped up 29 points and nine points. Her overall numbers this season reads 27.0 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.1 blocks. She's shooting a healthy 51.9% from the field and 33.3% from the deep.
The stellar run has her as the frontrunner for MVP as Las Vegas punched a playoff ticket earlier. The recent win sees them improve to 25-13 putting them on a three-game winning streak with two games left in the regular season. Wilson's efforts have also ensured that the Aces have had a good 12-7 record at home and a 13-6 run on the road despite their inconsistent run in a certain phase throughout the season. Only time will tell if they can defend their two consecutive titles.
As for the dating rumors between A'ja Wilson and Adebayo, the reportedly dating pair exchanging pleasantries and responding to cheeky digs from fans have just been doing the rounds, but nothing has been confirmed about their relationship by either of the players. Irrespective, the rumor mills will continue to churn.
