Overview
- Wilson agreed to a reported three‑year, $5 million supermax with Las Vegas under a new collective bargaining agreement that sharply increased team salary caps.
- Her 2026 pay is expected to start near $1.4 million, placing her in the first wave of Million Dollar Women alongside other newly signed stars.
- Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo praised the deal as overdue recognition for the women’s game, saying it shows how much attention the league now draws.
- Analysts note the deal is effectively pegged to about 20% of the cap, so her salary can rise with revenue but a guaranteed floor could squeeze roster options if league income dips.
- Las Vegas kept its title core by re‑upping Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd and Jackie Young on smaller deals, a tradeoff that helps fit Wilson’s supermax and preserves depth for another run.
