Miami Heat’s Jaime Jaquez ‘Pleads The 5th’ On Bam Adebayo-A’ja Wilson Dating Rumors
Fans have speculated a relationship between Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo and Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson for some time now, but no one anticipated Adebayo’s teammate, Jaime Jaquez Jr., would chime in.
The 23-year-old was playing video game Apex Legends on Saturday, when one of his in-game teammates asked the question, “Is Bam dating A’ja Wilson?”
“Listen, I’m not saying nothing. I cannot confirm or deny anything I don’t know,” Jaquez shared. “I plead the 5th.”
Most believe Jaquez is all but confirming the suspicions, but none can know for sure. Regardless, both Adebayo and Wilson are shining in their respective leagues, as the Aces forward recently came in at No. 1 in the WNBA’s All-Star voting. She came in with roughly 1,000 votes more than Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. Meanwhile, Adebayo is preparing to play for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside talents including LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
Jaquez exceeded expectations during his rookie campaign with the Heat, playing more games than any other player on the team. He appeared in 75 games and was a staple in coach Erik Spoelstra’s rotation. Jaquez remained an important piece for the Heat in the playoffs. He played in four games in the team’s first-round loss to the eventual-champion Boston Celtics. He averaged 12.8 points during the series, scoring 14 points in the team’s lone win.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A man from southwest Miami-Dade was arrested Wednesday after police say he kidnapped his girlfriend and punched her as she made her drive him to Boynton Beach over a money dispute.
Authorities said the victim was planning to pick up money from a friend in Boynton Beach when Yosmar Yzquierdo, 30, “forcefully” took her keys and demanded she take him with her. They then left from the 25000 block of Southwest 144th Court, in the county’s Naranja area, authorities said.
During the drive, Yzquierdo “struck the victim multiple times on the head with both closed and open fists,” according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Upon arriving in Boynton Beach, the victim received the money, but Yzquierdo “forcefully took it from her,” police wrote in the report.
Investigators said he then drove them back to his home, where he demanded to see her purse. After finding money inside, he took that as well, authorities said.
Police said Yzquierdo then drove the victim back to her home and left in an unknown direction.
At approximately 11:55 p.m. Wednesday, MDPD’s Hammock’s units took Yzquierdo into custody and transported him to a nearby police station to be interviewed.
After being read his Miranda rights, Yzquierdo denied the allegations but confirmed he had been at the locations where the incidents occurred, his arrest report stated.
According to jail records, he is facing three counts each of strong-arm robbery and one count each of kidnapping and battery.
As of Thursday, Yzquierdo was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where his bond information has not yet been released.
Police did not disclose why the victim allegedly owed Yzquierdo money.
