A’ja Wilson won the 2026 BET Award for Sportswoman of the Year after another outstanding stretch with the Las Vegas Aces. The four-time WNBA MVP edged a field featuring Angel Reese, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka and Claressa Shields. The honor came shortly after Wilson returned from a minor ankle scare to post 30 points and 15 rebounds in a victory over the Chicago Sky, reinforcing her status as one of the WNBA’s dominant stars.
