Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson is unanimous choice as WNBA MVP

Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson was the unanimous choice as the WNBA MVP, the league announced Sunday.

The Aces' versatile forward averaged 26.9 points and 11.8 rebounds this season. She's only the second player to win the award unanimously, joining Cynthia Cooper of the Houston Comets, who did it in the league's inaugural 1997 season.

Wilson received all 67 first-place votes from a national media panel, making her a three-time award winner (2020 and 2022.) She's the fourth player in WNBA history to reach that milestone, joining Sherly Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson.
