Wilson and nearly 80% of the league are free agents ahead of the 2026 season and will be seeking new deals when the WNBA's free agency period starts in the coming days. However, the four-time MVP and three-time WNBA champion is reportedly staying with the Aces. According to a Las Vegas Review-Journal report, Wilson is expected to re-sign with the team on a WNBA supermax salary of $1.4 million.
On Wednesday, after the WNBA and the WNBPA agreed to a new CBA in principle, a source confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that the new league salary cap would start at $7 million in Year 1, up from $1.5 million in 2025. The average revenue share for the players would be nearly 20% across the life of the deal, up from 9.3% under the 2020 CBA. As for player salaries, the supermax would be $1.4 million, with an average salary in the range of $600,000 and the minimum above $300,000.
In 2023, Wilson signed a two-year extension in 2023 worth $200,000 per year. Per Her Hoops Stats, her salary was not one of the top 25 salaries in the WNBA last season.
The Las Vegas Aces reportedly plans to make Wilson a million-dollar athlete "to show appreciation for the sacrifices she’s made to ensure the team’s success." Wilson has continually maintained she wants to stay with the Aces.
“I think everyone knows where my heart is. And my heart’s always going to be in Vegas," Wilson said last year. "So if I leave here, it’s because they sent me away. Know that. Because I love it. This is my second home, and I don’t see myself leaving.”
