Jackie Young, a four-time All-Star guard, is close to agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.19 million USD with the Las Vegas Aces. This will make her the first million-dollar athlete in the WNBA history. The deal prevents Young from entering the free-agent market as the Aces aim to retain key players like A’ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray. The landmark contract signals a significant financial shift for the league's top talent and sets a new benchmark for player compensation. With Young's return reportedly finalizing, the team will focus on securing the rest of its championship core.
