Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson is named WNBA MVP for a third straight season and a record fifth time overall, the league announces. The award marks the first instance of any player winning MVP three years in a row, with Wilson previously taking the honor in 2020 and 2022.
Outlets report Wilson finishes ahead of Olivia Miles in the voting, with other top finishers including Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark. Several sources also note Wilson’s place in broader league history, pointing out that no other WNBA player has more than three MVP awards. Comparisons to NBA MVP totals appear in some coverage, highlighting that only a small group of players across the NBA has reached five MVPs.
The reporting is broadly consistent on the key outcomes: Wilson’s record-setting fifth MVP, her third consecutive win, and Miles as runner-up in the balloting, alongside mention of other nominees who follow in the rankings.
