A’ja Wilson Commits to Re-Sign with Aces in WNBA Free Agency

A’ja Wilson confirmed she will remain with the Las Vegas Aces. She made the announcement before a USA Basketball practice. Wilson said she plans to stay and help Las Vegas defend its recent championship run.

Contract terms and salary context

Wilson is entering unrestricted free agency as the WNBA salary cap jumps under a new CBA. Filmogaz.com reported the Aces intend to offer a $1.4 million supermax deal. She earned $200,000 in 2025.

Career highlights and 2025 performance

Wilson has spent her entire eight-year career in Las Vegas. She is a four-time league MVP and a three-time Defensive Player of the Year.

Last season she averaged 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. That marked her second straight season with a double-double.

Timing and the wider free-agency picture

The WNBA faces a major free-agent period, with more than 100 players seeking new deals. Exact start dates for free agency have not been announced.

Training camps open April 19, creating pressure for an accelerated negotiating calendar. The league will also hold an expansion draft for Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo.

Process before negotiations

There will be a window for teams to issue qualifying offers before formal talks begin. The compressed timeline complicates planning for clubs and players.

Other marquee decisions this week

Wilson is the third high-profile free agent to end uncertainty this week. New York stars Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart said they plan to re-sign with New York when free agency opens.

With A’ja Wilson commits to staying, her intention to re-sign with Aces shapes offseason expectations. The move reduces speculation ahead of WNBA free agency.
