Las Vegas Aces star and reigning WNBA Finals MVP A'ja Wilson posted a cryptic message following the news of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark receiving a new and lucrative contract from Nike.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes star is finalizing an eight-figure agreement with Nike, which will grant her her own signature shoes.

"Always remember what is delayed is not denied ...," Wilson posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

Wilson is undoubtedly one of the best players in the WNBA, having been a major part of the back-to-back championship team of the Las Vegas Aces, earning the WNBA Finals MVP during their recent title run in 2023.

A'ja Wilson's Aces teammate reacts to cryptic message

Aces veteran point guard Sydney Colson had a hilarious reaction to Wilson's post, which likely alluded to Clark's signature shoe deal.

"I meeeaaan, I might get a shoe before @_ajawilson22 at this rate," the 34-year-old said on her X account.

Wilson responded to Colson with her own post featuring laughing emojis, although she clarified in another post that she wasn't jealous of Clark.

"Our league is hard as hell so to thrive and to stay in it consistently.. is huge! So pls stop with this jealousy stuff," Wilson expressed.
