Las Vegas signed guard Jackie Young, an All-Star the past two seasons as the Aces won consecutive WNBA championships, to a contract extension through 2025.
Young, 26, has been with the Aces since they selected her first overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft out of Notre Dame. She has averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 162 games (140 starts).
She shot 47.5 percent from the floor, 41.2 percent from long range and 84.8 percent from the free-throw line.
Last season, Young averaged a career-best 17.6 points in being selected to the 2023 All-WNBA second team. She was voted the WNBA Most Improved Player in 2022 and to the All-Rookie first team in 2019.
“Jackie Young is a force to be reckoned with in the WNBA and one of the most dynamic shooting guards in the world,” Aces general manager Natalie Williams said in a statement Saturday. “Signing Jackie to an extension through 2025 was absolutely a priority for us. Watching Jackie’s growth, I believe she could be vying for that MVP title this season.”
Las Vegas signed star point guard Chelsea Gray to an extension through 2025 on Wednesday.
