Las Vegas – The Las Vegas Aces solidified their championship core on Wednesday by signing superstar A’ja Wilson to a three-year supermax contract valued at $5 million, setting a new benchmark in WNBA history.[1][2] This fully guaranteed deal starts at $1.4 million for the 2026 season and escalates with salary cap raises, a sharp increase from Wilson’s prior earnings of about $200,000. The agreement underscores the Aces’ commitment to the player who has elevated the franchise to national prominence.[3]
A Superstar’s Unrivaled Dominance
Wilson has redefined excellence in the WNBA since the Aces selected her first overall in 2018. The 6-foot-4 center from South Carolina holds the league’s best career scoring average at 21.4 points per game. Last season, she averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals while powering the Aces toward another title.[1]
Her trophy case boasts four MVP awards – the first player to achieve that feat – along with three Defensive Player of the Year honors. Wilson also claimed three championships in her four seasons with the team. These accomplishments position her as the face of a dynasty that draws sellout crowds and prime-time broadcasts.
- Four-time WNBA MVP
