A’ja Wilson wins the Associated Press WNBA Player of the Year award for a third consecutive year, with the national media panel voting her the top player. Wilson receives 15 of 17 first-place votes, according to the reports.
The AP honor continues Wilson’s record-setting run. The award is the fourth time she has won AP Player of the Year since it began in 2016, breaking a tie with Breanna Stewart for the most such wins. Other recognition in the AP voting includes Angel Reese being named top defensive player, as described by the sources.
The coverage focuses largely on Wilson’s dominance across multiple seasons and the voting margins, while also noting Reese’s defensive award as the other standout element of the AP announcements.
