Among all players who qualified for the award, Hayes ranked first in total points (313) and points per game.
Hayes, 35, was an All-Star in 2017 and has career averages of 13.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 350 games (279 starts) with the Atlanta Dream (2012-19, 2021-22), Connecticut Sun (2023) and Aces.
She is the fourth player to win Sixth Player of the Year as a member of the Aces, joining Alysha Clark (2023), Kelsey Plum (2021) and Dearica Hamby (2020 and 2019).
