Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson (22) passes the ball while defended by Minnesota Lynx forward Maria Kliundikova (77) on Saturday August 2, 2025, in Las Vegas. After 17 months of intense negotiations, the WNBA and WNBPA union struck a new deal on Mar. 18 - the first agreement to tie player salaries to league revenue directly.

Then, on Mar. 23, the players unanimously approved the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), with over 90% athletes participating in the weekend vote. Meanwhile, the WNBA held its seventh expansion draft on Friday for the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo.

In a twist, once the designation period ended, star Angel Reese landed in a major trade. The Chicago Sky made their only move so far in free agency, dealing Reese to the Atlanta Dream on Monday. She's projected to earn $350,000 in 2026 under the new rookie scale.

Shifting to Las Vegas, three-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson is set to sign a supermax contract with the Aces, according to reports from Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal . The Aces center wrapped the 2025 season with impressive averages of 23. 4 points, 10.
