On September 22 , the WNBA officially announced that Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson was elected the 2025 regular season Most Valuable Player. This is the fourth time she has won the award in her career, making her the first "four-time" MVP in league history.

The MVP race was fierce this season , with Minnesota Bobcats forward Nafessa Collier performing well and considered a favorite. Wilson ultimately received 51 first-place votes, totaling 657 points, surpassing Collier, who received 18 first-place votes.

After practice last Friday, WNBA Commissioner Engelbert and Wilson 's boyfriend, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo , unexpectedly made an appearance and personally handed her the trophy. Wilson emotionally remarked, " My name is on this trophy, but it wouldn't be possible without the support of my teammates. "

Wilson has won the MVP award four times in his career . This season, he averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He also led the league with 2.3 blocks and was jointly named Defensive Player of the Year with Smith of the Bobcats.

Wilson led the team to a 14-14 record at one point this season , but she went on to win 17 straight games, finishing with a 30-14 record and securing the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. In the first round of the playoffs, she scored 38 points to lead the team to victory.
