“Bachelorette” fans are going to have to wait a few months to join Rachel Lindsay on her journey to find love. Luckily spoilers are already coming out left and right.

The Season 13 star of the ABC dating series was recently spotted on an outing with her suitors. According to Us Weekly, Rachel and the group were playing basketball at a Southern California high school earlier this week and NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joined them on their date.

Rachel reportedly had a great time during the outing, though she seemed to still be getting used to dating in the spotlight. She, her guys and Abdul-Jabbar made nice will fans in the audience. Us’ source said “The Bachelorette” was somewhat shy with the guys — but it’s still early in the game!

“Bachelor” executive producer Mike Fleiss recently showed off a gift given to him by Abdul-Jabber. At the time there was no context for why he’d gotten the gift, but it’s all making sense now. Fleiss called his new autographed ball “an honor.”

That isn’t all he’s shown off from behind-the-scenes of “The Bachelorette” 2017 season. Fleiss has taken fans into the control room, showing the various cameras planted around “The Bachelorette” mansion. He’s also snapped a photo or two of some of the men dating Rachel in Season 13.

On the first night of filming, Fleiss allowed Twitter followers to essentially tag along. He snapped pictures of Rachel waiting to meet the men as they left their limos, shared a picture of the sun setting over the pool and the people who make “The Bachelorette” possible. We’ll have to wait a while longer to get a more in depth look, however.

“The Bachelorette” kicks off May 22 on ABC.
