Four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson reportedly made history on Wednesday, and she didn't even step on the court.

Wilson re-signed with the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Aces. However, ESPN reported it was a three-year, $5 million supermax contract that is fully guaranteed and is the largest in WNBA history.

"A'ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today," Aces president and general manager Vikki Fargas said. "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."

Wilson, 29, has been with the Aces since they drafted her with the No. 1 overall pick in 2018. The seven-time All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year guided Las Vegas to its third title in four seasons in 2025.

Wilson averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.6 steals in 40 games last season, earning her fourth MVP trophy.

She has career averages of 21.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals in 267 games (266 starts).
