Tayshia Adams' celebrity has risen as the “Bachelorette” on ABC's hit show. At present, Adams has a full host of men competing for her love. But she also claimed on “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” a player from the Los Angeles Lakers' 2020 championship squad hit her direct message line:

“Well, I’m not going to say the name … but I’ve talked to a Laker,” Tayshia Adams said about the Lakers star, via TMZ.

Adams would not reveal the identity of the player she spoke with. However, when pressed by the hosts, Adams acknowledged she had talked to Kyle Kuzma.

The hosts–Rebecca Lindsay and Becca Kufrin–followed by asking whether LeBron James had made contact, to which Adams responded with a she “wish” LBJ had been the one to slide in the DMs. Of course, LeBron is happily married with three children.

Tayshia Adams did have one final parting shot. She claimed the player is “no one exciting,” which would be a hilariously devastating blow especially to a rotation player like Kuzma. Or honestly, any other player on the Lakers roster for that matter, as no one enjoys such indirect shade like this. After all, even NBA players have an ego off the hardwood.

That said, “Kuz” was last reported to be dating “American's Next Top Model” Winnie Harlow, so he is probably out of the picture.

In any case, one particular Lakers talent seems to be every bit as intrigued by the “Bachelorette” star as so much of the country–for better or worse–appears to be whenever a new season airs.

Lakers players do not have a whole lot of time for flirtation, however. With the NBA draft on Wednesday night and free agency beginning Friday, the offseason is beginning in earnest, with the start of the 2020-21 campaign just around the corner.
