Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson couldn’t help herself.
The four-time WNBA MVP joked that the NBA will drug test her boyfriend, Heat center Bam Adebayo, after his historic 83-point night in a 150-129 win against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
“Go ahead and pee in that cup my boi! ✨,” Wilson wrote on Threads, including a laughing meme.
NBA players are subject to four random, unannounced drug tests for performance-enhancing substances during the regular season, plus additional testing for “reasonable cause.”
“A NEWWWWW RECORD!!!!” Wilson said in another post, adding “HISTORY!!!”
Adebayo now has the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, surpassing Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game scored in 2006 — and trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game.
“Welp won’t have the highest career high in the house anymore 😭 but at least it gives me something to go after 🤭,” Wilson wrote.
Wilson tied the WNBA single-game scoring record with 53 points on Aug. 22, 2023, in a 112-100 win over the Atlanta Dream, matching the record previously set by Liz Cambage in 2018.
Adebayo’s previous NBA career-high performance was 41 points.
Wilson, who was sitting courtside, also joined Adebayo during his postgame press conference at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
“This has been an incredible game obviously, but the journey for Bam — witnessing it first hand, the highs and the lows of it. It’s been so much fun,” Wilson said.
“I know that he says I’m his inspiration, but I dont think he has a clue how much he inspires me to continue to be the person that I am but to show up for him. That’s my biggest goal is always to be present and show up for him.”
Adebayo and Wilson shared a sweet moment on the court, embracing in a long hug after the game.
The pair has been dating for about five years, first connecting at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
