WNBA Awards: A'ja Wilson Takes Home League MVP Honors, Crystal Dangerfield Wins ROY

Aces big A'ja Wilson has won the 2020 WNBA MVP award, the league announced Thursday.

The 24-year-old Wilson entered this season as the focal point of her team's offense and defense, following former league scoring-leader Liz Cambage's decision to opt out. Facing the added responsibility, the South Carolina product thrived.

Wilson, a two-time All-Star, finished second in scoring with 20.5 points per game, and first in blocks per game (2.0.) She was also near the top of the league in rebounds, averaging 8.5 per contest.

The Aces claimed the league's top overall seed in the 2020 postseason last Sunday after defeating the Storm, 86-84.
