Vanessa Hudgens<\/a><\/strong> shoots… and she scores! <\/p>\n

Fresh off her recent split<\/a> from longtime boyfriend Austin Butler<\/a><\/strong>, the actress was spotted out enjoying a dinner date with Los Angeles Lakers star Kyle Kuzma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to photos<\/a> obtained by TMZ, Vanessa and Kyle got to know each other a bit better over a bottle of wine at Italian restaurant Lilia in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening. Dressed in a black turtleneck sweater (a date night staple, btw), Vanessa looked perfectly happy in the NBA player’s company. <\/p>\n

It’s possible Vanessa and Kyle were simply meeting up as friends, but their recent social media activity has some fans speculating about a likely rebound. <\/p>\n

Kyle, 24, captioned<\/a> a recent Instagram photo, “Yeaaaa we like thatttt,” to which Vanessa, 31, replied flirtatiously, “Ya we doooo.” The former Disney darling also cheered on Kyle at last week’s Lakers game<\/a> against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and gave the athlete a shout out. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Ugh @lakers @kingjames @kuz @dwighthoward my heros,” she captioned<\/a> a video of Kyle making a basket. <\/p>\n

The Lakers are scheduled to take on the New York Knicks tomorrow at Madison Square Garden, so only time will tell if Kyle’s cheerleader is sitting courtside once again. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Vanessa and Kyle have yet to address the relationship speculation, but there’s no denying she’s ready to embrace the next chapter of her life. Between extravagant red carpet moments<\/a> to spending quality time<\/a> with her besties, the single life looks good on Vanessa. <\/p>\n

As for why she and Austin called it quits after nearly nine years together, sources said<\/a> it came down to distance. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“They’re just shooting on two different continents and it’s a matter of distance,” one source explained. “There is no bad blood at all, and they have a lot of respect for each other.”<\/p>\n

A second insider added, “They have such a history and deep connection they could find their way back to one another.” <\/p>\n

But for now, Vanessa is wining and dining her way through life alongside Kyle. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
