A'ja Wilson Says She'll Re-Sign With Aces, Won't Test Free Agency

Her decision highlights the new WNBA pay rules that let elite players lock in true supermax deals.

Overview

  • Wilson, speaking to reporters Friday, said she is not leaving Las Vegas and will not explore the free-agent market.
  • Under the league’s updated CBA, which raised top-tier pay, she is expected to be eligible for a reported $1.4 million Aces supermax, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
  • She made about $200,000 last season to help the team build its roster, a figure that did not rank among the WNBA’s 25 highest salaries.
  • Her résumé includes four MVP awards and three championships, with a 2025 sweep of the title, Finals MVP, league MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
  • Analysts say Las Vegas projects as the favorite again, and other stars like Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu also plan to re-sign, signaling limited top-end movement in free agency.
