A'ja Wilson's teammates and Miami-Dade's mayor are really not helping her avoid the Bam Adebayo dating rumors

If A'ja Wilson wanted to avoid the Bam Adebayo dating rumors, her teammates and Miami-Dade's mayor certainly aren't helping.

Fans have been convinced that A'ja and Bam are an item for months. The two hoopers were spotted together in Las Vegas earlier this year, and the rumors swirled. It got even louder during the Olympics when fans caught wind of a subtle Aja-Bam handshake after the Team USA women won gold.

On Wednesday, the dating rumors started again when A'ja was in the audience as Bam received the keys to the city of Miami. The mayor of Miami-Dade County made things really awkward with a shoutout to A'ja, which included recognizing the star's presence by saying," I guess that has something to do with Bam and the Heat."

As you can imagine, the clip spread quickly on social media, and A'ja Wilson's teammates (Sydney Colson and Chelsea Gray) didn't help.

Afterward, Aj'a jumped into the conversation by sharing an elite Jerry Spring meme that didn't confirm or deny anything but definitely got fans going.

And, not to be left out, Bam seemingly entered the chat with thoughts of his own.
