A'ja Wilson picked up two more trophies at the 2026 ESPYs on Wednesday night. The Las Vegas Aces center won Best WNBA Player over Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, and Allisha Gray. She also took home Best Athlete in Women's Sports, edging Hilary Knight, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Nelly Korda.
This marks the second time Wilson has claimed both awards — she first swept the categories in 2024.
Wilson wasn't at New York's Lincoln Center to accept either honor. Instead, US rugby star Ilona Maher and NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns collected them on her behalf.

The double win follows a record-setting 2025 season. Wilson won MVP, the scoring title, Defensive Player of the Year, and Finals MVP. No player in WNBA or NBA history had swept all four in a single season.
The ESPYs WNBA wins are just one part of a packed summer for the Aces star. She won Sportswoman of the Year at the BET Awards in June.
Earlier that month, Wheaties named her its newest box champion. And Nike released her second signature shoe, the A'Two, in May.
