It's the second regular-season MVP award for Wilson, who received the accolade in 2020. The 26-year-old was also named the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year.
Wilson still has an opportunity to add to her silverware. The Aces booked their spot in the WNBA Finals by eliminating the Seattle Storm on Tuesday and will face either the Chicago Sky or Connecticut Sun for the championship.
