Aces re-sign Wilson to reported largest contract in WNBA history

The Las Vegas Aces re-signed four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson, the team announced Wednesday.

Wilson agreed to a three-year, $5-million supermax contract, which is the largest in league history and fully guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania and Andraya Carter.

"A'ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today," Aces president of basketball operations and general manager Nikki Fargas said in a statement.

"Not only has she catapulted into the history books and surpassed almost every record in existence, but she does so with the utmost confidence, authenticity, and grace. We look forward to continuing to see her thrive in an Aces uniform."

Wilson has spent her entire career with Las Vegas after going No. 1 overall in the 2018 WNBA Draft. She's established herself as the league's most dominant player, earning seven All-Star nods, five All-WNBA first-team selections, three WNBA titles, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, and a pair of Finals MVPs.

Wilson averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals across 40 appearances last season. Her historic 2025 campaign also saw her become the first WNBA player to capture MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Finals MVP, and a scoring title in the same season.

Las Vegas has now retained its core from last season's title-winning squad. The Aces previously agreed to deals with Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Jewell Loyd.
