WNBA’s Reigning MVP Says Owners Need To Do More for Players

Jul 14, 2023

Reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson wants owners to step up financial investments in their teams ahead of this weekend’s All-Star festivities in Las Vegas, where the Aces star is a team captain.

“We have to sometimes look owners in the face and tell them to make a decision,” Wilson told Front Office Sports. “Either you’re going to give us your all and your team and go from there, or get someone in that really, actually cares.”

WNBA teams are still limited with regard to chartered flights, despite this year’s expanded program — Wilson’s Aces were even fined for breaking travel rules. Wilson says she feels blessed that Aces owner Mark Davis “wants us to be able to feel and be professional athletes, and he’s treated us as such.”
