It appears that the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces will retain the team’s core players, who together have won the league championship three out of the past four years. The Aces have reportedly signed superstar guard Jackie Young to a deal for the maximum regular salary of $1.19 million, making her the first player in WNBA history to earn more than $1 million over a single season. (Prior maximum salaries were much lower; the highest in 2025 was around $269,000). Point guard Chelsea Gray is reportedly finalizing a three-year multi-million dollar deal, while forward/center A’ja Wilson, widely considered the WNBA’s GOAT, will soon sign a “supermax” deal for $1.4 million to return to the Aces. The regular season starts on Friday May 8.
