Overview

  • A'ja Wilson, speaking Friday at USA Basketball camp in Phoenix, said she is not leaving Las Vegas and plans to defend the Aces' championship.
  • Local reporting says she is expected to re-sign with the Aces on the new supermax worth $1.4 million for 2026.
  • The new collective bargaining agreement lifts the league salary cap to about $7 million and raises the top salary from roughly $249,000 to $1.4 million.
  • Wilson made about $200,000 last season despite winning a fourth MVP and leading Las Vegas to a third title in four years.
  • Las Vegas now works to keep Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young and Jewell Loyd as free agency follows Friday's expansion draft and precedes April 19 training camps.
