Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese Win AP Awards, Check Out 2026 Box Score Stats for WNBA Stars

A'ja Wilson is adding more hardware to her already legendary resume.

The Associated Press named the Las Vegas Aces star the WNBA Player of the Year for the third straight season after she led her team to the playoffs as the No. 3 seed. However, she did not repeat as the AP's Defensive Player of the Year, as that honor went to Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream.

They weren't the only stars to be recognized, as Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark captured the AP's Comeback Player of the Year.

Playoff Bracket Predictions for Every Series 🔮

Here is a look at their box-score averages for the season:

Other awards from the AP included Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx winning Coach of the Year, Jessica Shepard of the Dallas Wings winning Most Improved Player and Janelle Salaun of the Golden State Valkyries winning Sixth Woman of the Year.

But it was Wilson who took home the most notable honor and also made history with the fourth time receiving the recognition. That broke a tie with Breanna Stewart for the most in WNBA history since it was handed out starting in 2016.

"That's got a nice ring to it," Wilson said, per the AP. "That's pretty cool."

She received 15 of the 17 first-place votes to take it home for the third straight year.

"It's big. It's an honor for me to do it three times in a row. It's not easy," the Aces star said. "My counterparts in this league are really good. I don't take it lightly because of how much talent we do have in this league."

Wilson is just 30 years old but is already in discussions as the greatest player in WNBA history. Her list of accomplishments includes four league MVPs, three WNBA titles, three scoring titles, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, a Rookie of the Year, two WNBA Finals MVPs, six block titles, six All-WNBA selections and five All-Defensive selections.

She will surely be adding a fifth MVP and other accolades to that list this season after yet another brilliant individual campaign.

Wilson will be facing another of the league's biggest stars in the first round of the playoffs when her Aces go against Clark's Fever.

It is a rematch of last year's semifinals matchup, although Clark will actually be on the floor this time after missing that series with injury. In fact, she played just 13 games last season, which set her up to win the Comeback Player of the Year in 2026.

Clark posted career-highs in scoring, field-goal percentage (44.6) and three-point percentage (36.1) while finishing second in the league in assists per game.

As for Reese, she impressed in her first season with the Dream and will play in the postseason for the first time in her career after helping lead Atlanta to the No. 4 seed.

The LSU product was an All-Star for the third straight year and also helped the United States take home the gold medal in the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup with suffocating defense. And that defense was on full display throughout the WNBA season, which the AP recognized with this honor Sunday.

Reese wouldn't play Clark or Wilson in the playoffs until the WNBA Finals, although all three begin their playoff journey Sunday.

Clark and Wilson will face each other in Las Vegas, while Reese's Dream host the Washington Mystics.
