A’ja Wilson averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals this season, leading to Las Vegas Aces to a 16-game win streak and the no. 2 seed of the WNBA Playoffs.
Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson cemented her place in basketball history after being named the WNBA Kia Most Valuable Player for a record fourth time after another remarkable 2025 season.
Wilson led the Aces to a 30-14 finish, capped by a franchise-best 16-game winning streak to close out the regular season, locking in the no. 2 seed for the playoffs.
The achievement makes her the first player to win MVP more than three times, surpassing legends Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, and Sheryl Swoopes, with whom she was previously tied at three.
It is also Wilson’s second straight MVP after winning the award in 2024, making her just the second back-to-back winner in league history since Cynthia Cooper in 1997 and 1998.
She first earned the honor in 2020, followed by 2022 ahead of her first championship run.
Wilson dominated on both ends of the floor, posting 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals per game on 50.5 percent shooting.
She is the only player in WNBA history to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal per season—a feat she has now accomplished twice.
Her historic campaign also saw her set the single-season record for 30-point games (13), lead the league in scoring, rank first in blocks for the fifth time in her career, and finish second in rebounds per game.
Alongside MVP, Wilson collected a long list of accolades in 2025: Defensive Player of the Year (third time), Associated Press Player of the Year, AP Defensive Player of the Year, WNBA Peak Performer (scoring leader), Western Conference Player of the Month for August, and six Western Conference Player of the Week awards.
In MVP balloting, Wilson received 51 of 72 first-place votes (657 points), finishing ahead of Napheesa Collier (534) of the Minnesota Lynx and Alyssa Thomas (391) of the Phoenix Mercury.
Allisha Gray (180) of the Atlanta Dream and Kelsey Mitchell (93) of the Indiana Fever rounded out the top five.
