Overview

  • Wilson returned to Las Vegas on Wednesday in what ESPN reports is a three-year, $5 million supermax that is fully guaranteed.
  • The Aces confirmed her re-signing without disclosing terms, and multiple outlets reported it as the largest contract in league history.
  • Agent Jade-Li English of Klutch Sports Group negotiated the deal, according to ESPN reporters Shams Charania and Andraya Carter.
  • With Wilson secured, Las Vegas has its championship nucleus back after re-signing Jackie Young, Jewell Loyd and Chelsea Gray, and adding Chennedy Carter on a training-camp deal.
  • The league’s new labor agreement raised the team cap to roughly $7 million and the supermax to about $1.4 million, enabling multiyear seven-figure deals and setting a benchmark for future elite contracts.
