In a move that solidifies their championship blueprint, the Las Vegas Aces have made history by securing their cornerstone talent. Jackie Young, the dynamic wing and four-time All-Star, has re-signed with the franchise, becoming the first player in WNBA history to sign a million-dollar contract.

This landmark deal underscores the Aces' commitment to their dynasty's core. Team President Nikki Fargas highlighted Young's foundational role, stating, "She brings an unmatched competitive drive and will to win that has led to raising three championship banners."

Since being drafted first overall in 2019, Young's evolution has been remarkable. She has transformed from a promising prospect into a bona fide superstar, a journey capped by her 2022 Most Improved Player award. Her recent performance cements her elite status: she averaged playoff career-highs in 2025 and was one of just three players to record multiple triple-doubles last season.

Expressing her gratitude, Young said, "I’m incredibly grateful to the Aces organization and our amazing fans... I’m excited to get back to work and compete again for a championship."

Alongside A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray, Young forms the formidable backbone of the Aces' championship machine. With Gray already secured on a long-term deal and Wilson expected to follow, Las Vegas is clearly betting that this legendary trio has more titles in their future.
