Las Vegas Aces Re-Sign Three-Time World Champion A’ja Wilson Las Vegas Aces president and general manager Nikki Fargas announced on April 15, 2026, that the team has re-signed four-time WNBA Most Valuable Player A’ja Wilson, a pivotal figure in the Aces’ three WNBA championships over the past four seasons. The re-signing ensures the Aces retain 90% of their scoring power, with Wilson contributing 75.5 points per game out of the team’s total 83.6 points per game in 2025. Fargas praised Wilson’s impact, stating, “A’ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today. 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, who closed the 2025 season as the only player in WNBA history to earn M’VP, Defensive Player of the Year, Finals M’VP, and lead the league in scoring in the same season, expressed her commitment with a cryptic message: “YKWTFGO.” Her 2025 season was marked by historic achievements, including becoming the only player in league history to secure a fourth WNBA M’VP honor. She previously won the award in 2020, 2022, and 2024, while also claiming two WNBA Finals M’VP titles, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, seven All-Star selections, six All-WNBA honors, and five All-Defensive Team nods. Wilson’s 2025 season with the Aces was a masterclass in dominance. She averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks during the regular season, and 26.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.1 steals, and 2.5 blocks in the playoffs.#las_vegas_aces #wnba #aja_wilson #nika_fargas #wnba_championships
A'ja Wilson Signs Historic 3-Year, $5M Supermax Contract with Las Vegas Aces A'ja Wilson, the WNBA’s first four-time MVP, has agreed to a landmark three-year, $5 million supermax contract with the Las Vegas Aces, sources confirmed to ESPN. The deal, the largest in WNBA history and fully guaranteed for Wilson, was negotiated by her agent, Jade-Li English of Klutch Sports Group. While the Aces publicly announced the re-signing, they did not disclose the specifics of the agreement. Under the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement, Wilson will earn $1.4 million for the upcoming season, with her salary increasing over the next two years based on her receiving 20% of the team’s salary cap. This structure is supported by the league’s new revenue share model, which aims to distribute financial resources more evenly across teams. The Aces’ president and general manager, Nikki Fargas, praised Wilson’s contributions to the franchise, stating, “A’ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today. 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’s re-signing solidifies the Aces’ roster, as the team will retain 90% of its scoring power from the 2025 championship squad, which averaged 75.5 points per game out of a possible 83.6. Wilson, 29, has been a cornerstone of the Aces’ success since being drafted first overall by Las Vegas in 2018. She helped the team secure its first WNBA title in franchise history in 2022, then repeated the feat in 2023 while earning Finals MVP honors.#las_vegas_aces #wnba #aja_wilson #jade_li_english #nikki_fargas
