A'ja Wilson has firmly stated her intention to remain with the Las Vegas Aces, declaring 'I'm not leaving Vegas' as the WNBA enters a historic free agency period. The four-time MVP and three-time champion, currently training with the USA Basketball team, emphasized her focus on winning another title and improving as a leader. Wilson's commitment follows similar announcements from Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, signaling stability for the Aces' core.

The league's new collective bargaining agreement triggers unprecedented free agency for nearly all players not on rookie deals, with salaries projected to rise from a 2025 maximum of $249,244 to a 2026 max of $1.4 million, potentially reaching over $2.4 million by 2032. Wilson, who averaged 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds last season while winning MVP, Finals MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year honors, is expected to be a top priority for the Aces alongside Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Jewell Loyd, who joined the team last season and won a title.
