A'ja Wilson threw a jab at Fox Sports analyst Rachel Nichols following a question she asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. On Sunday, Nichols jokingly asked the OKC Thunder superstar if Thunder general manager Sam Presti would scout Wilson and Bam Adebayo's baby during a sonogram.

Nichols asked the reigning MVP the non-basketball-related question as a follow-up to a joke a person made about Presti being at Wilson and Adebayo's baby sonogram during one of Wilson's interviews.

The Thunder star chuicked a bit after hearing the question. He gave a sound response to the question.

"Sam takes his job very seriously, and whatever it takes to be great, he will do so if that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes," SGA said.

"Yall don’t think this a lil strange orrrr weird..??? But I guess it’s a slow day in the office 😐" Wilson commented.

However, upon returning from Paris, the couple kept their relationship low profile. Rumors about the two basketball stars dating started to circulate in the community, but it wasn't until February that Wilson confirmed dating the Heat star.

The Aces star hard-launched her relationship with Adebayo during an interview with "People". Wilson spilled the beans while discussing her Valentine's Day plans during the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend.

While Wilson is enjoying the offseason, Bam Adebayo is busy leading the Heat (14-11) to a spot in the standings, where they won't have to participate in the play-in tournament. Miami are currently the seventh-place team in the East.
