WNBA star A’ja Wilson has made history after agreeing to a record-breaking $5 million contract to remain with the Las Vegas Aces, solidifying her status as the face of the franchise and one of the most dominant players in women’s basketball.
According to multiple reports, Wilson’s new deal is a fully guaranteed three-year “supermax” contract, making it the most lucrative contract in WNBA history.
The signing ensures the four-time MVP will continue leading the Aces, a team she has helped transform into a modern dynasty. Since being selected No. 1 overall in 2018, Wilson has guided Las Vegas to multiple championships, including their most recent title in 2025.
Team leadership praised Wilson not only for her on-court production but also for her leadership and impact on the organization’s culture. The 29-year-old superstar has consistently delivered elite performances, averaging over 20 points and 10 rebounds per game while anchoring the team defensively.
The landmark deal also reflects a broader shift in player compensation following the league’s updated collective bargaining agreement, which has significantly increased salaries and revenue sharing for players.
Wilson’s contract is widely viewed as a milestone moment for the WNBA, signaling continued growth in the league’s financial landscape and recognition of its top talent.
With their cornerstone player secured long-term, the Aces now look poised to remain championship contenders for years to come.
