Sources: Wilson staying with Aces on 3-year, $5M supermax deal - ESPN

A'ja Wilson, the WNBA's first four-time MVP, has signed a three-year, $5 million supermax contract to remain with the Las Vegas Aces, sources told ESPN.

The deal, which is the largest in WNBA history to date and fully guaranteed for Wilson, was negotiated by agent Jade-Li English of Klutch Sports Group.

The Aces announced the move but did not disclose terms of the deal.

Wilson will earn $1.4 million for the upcoming season under the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement, and the salary will increase over the next two years based on her receiving 20% of the team's salary cap, which will be aided by the league's new revenue share model.

«A'ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today,» Aces president and GM Nikki Fargas said in a statement. «Not only has she catapulted into the history books and surpassed almost every record in existence, but she does so with the utmost confidence, authenticity and grace. We look forward to continuing to see her thrive in an Aces uniform.»

Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell is currently the only other player on a supermax contract, though Mitchell's deal is for one season.

The three-time WNBA champion told media attending last week's USA Basketball national team training camp that she was «not looking» to leave the only team she's played for over the course of her eight-year WNBA career.

«I love Vegas. I'm not leaving Vegas,» Wilson said Friday. «I'm looking to win another one. I'm looking to defend a championship that we have in Las Vegas. I'm looking to get better as a leader, as a player. Everything else just kind of falls in line.»

With the re-signing of Wilson, the Aces officially return 90% of their scoring power (75.5 of 83.6 ppg) from 2025's
