The Las Vegas Aces are wasting no time with a new collective bargaining agreement on the way.

Las Vegas intends to re-sign four-time MVP A'ja Wilson to the new supermax deal worth $1.4 million, sources told Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The league and players' union reached an agreement in principle on a new CBA early Wednesday morning after several days of negotiations. Among the substantial changes, both parties reportedly agreed to raise the WNBA's max single-season salary from just under $250,000 to $1.4 million beginning in 2026.

Wilson, 29, earned $200,000 in each of the last two seasons on her previous contract with the Aces, according to Spotrac. The discounts helped the franchise assemble the rest of the team around the former No. 1 pick, contributing to three championships over the last four years.

Also a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and the 2018 Rookie of the Year, Wilson holds a strong argument as the best active player in the WNBA. The two-time Finals MVP averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals in 40 regular-season games last season. She was even better in the playoffs, putting up a career-high 26.8 points in 12 postseason games to lead Las Vegas back to the title.
