Jewell Loyd’s struggles continued in the Seattle Storm’s loss to the Dallas Wings on Saturday night. The Storm, who are the reigning WNBA champions, fell to the Wings 82-76 in a game that saw Loyd struggle to find her rhythm.
Loyd, who was the WNBA MVP last season, finished with just 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the field. She also had four rebounds and two assists in the loss. It was a far cry from her usual production, as she is averaging 17.5 points per game this season.
The Storm have been struggling as of late, losing three of their last four games. Loyd has been a big part of that, as she has failed to reach double figures in scoring in three of those four games.
The Storm will need Loyd to get back to her usual level of play if they want to make a run at the playoffs this season. She is one of the best players in the league and is a key part of the team’s success.
It’s clear that Loyd is going through a tough stretch right now, but she is a resilient player and will find a way to get back on track. The Storm will need her to do so if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs this season.
