Abigail Ratchford posted a shot of the Warriors' guard's dog.

Is a popular Instagram model trying to tell us that she's dating Klay Thompson?

Well, it sure seems that way if you follow Abigail Ratchford on social media. The sexy model, who boasts nearly eight million IG followers, posted a shot of the Golden State Warriors' All-Star's dog, Rocco, in addition to basketballs on a counter top, adding the caption, "That was the best I’ve slept in a year" with an angel emoji, as reported by the Mercury News.

Although one would argue that those are clear-cut hints, Ratchford begs to differ, not claiming Thompson at all.

Instead, she offered the following statement to The New York Post.

“My manager was right that I shouldn’t put [my relationship] out there. It’s never a good business move,” Ratchford told the New York City tabloid about airing out details of her personal life. “You kind of have to pretend you’re single, just so [your fans] can have the fantasy of having a chance with you.”

So, was this Abigail's way of strongly hinting that she's dating Klay? Or could it be that she's dating Klay's older brother, Mychel Thompson, who also plays basketball, but for the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League?

Hmm ... here's how people are taking to the hints.
