**A’ja Wilson Makes WNBA History, Claims Record Fourth MVP Award**

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2025 – Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson has etched her name in WNBA history, securing her fourth Kia WNBA Most Valuable Player award. The WNBA announced the honor today, marking Wilson’s second consecutive MVP win (also awarded in 2020 and 2022) and solidifying her as the league’s first four-time MVP.

Wilson surpassed legends like Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson, all three-time MVP winners. She dominated the voting, receiving 51 of 72 first-place votes from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas followed in second and third place, respectively.

The 6’4″ center-forward led the league in scoring (23.4 ppg) and blocks (2.3 bpg) while also averaging 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. She is the only WNBA player to average at least 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steal per game in a season (minimum 15 games played), achieving this feat for the second consecutive year.

Wilson’s stellar performance propelled the Aces to a 30-14 record and the No. 2 seed in the 2025 WNBA Playoffs, including a franchise-record 16-game winning streak to end the season. Her accomplishments include setting a WNBA single-season record for games of 30 or more points (13).

The Aces, led by Wilson, are set to face the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Semifinals. The series kicks off today at 3 p.m. ET (ABC).

As the 2025 Kia WNBA MVP, Wilson will receive $15,450 and a specially designed trophy from Tiffany & Co.
