Aces star forward A’ja Wilson is close to finalizing a deal to return Las Vegas, according to Khristina Williams of Girl Talk Sports.
Wilson has spent all four of her WNBA seasons with the Aces. The 25-year-old, who is currently a restricted free agent, is expected to receive a major raise as she earned $70,040 in the final year of her rookie contract last season.
The 2020 WNBA MVP is slated to earn a maximum deal in returning to play for the Aces. She is currently not eligible for a super max deal.
With Wilson’s return, new Aces head coach Becky Hammon will have plenty of talent to construct the roster and maneuver the team’s veteran pieces.
