On Wednesday, the Seattle Storm announced that they have signed star guard Jewell Loyd to a multiyear contract extension. This is great news for the Storm, as Loyd has been a key part of the team since she was drafted in 2015.
Loyd has been an integral part of the Storm’s success over the past few years. She was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2015 and has been an All-Star in each of the past four seasons. Last season, she averaged 17.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 37.2 percent from three-point range.
The Storm have been one of the most successful teams in the WNBA over the past few years, and Loyd has been a big part of that success. She has helped lead the team to three consecutive playoff appearances and a championship in 2018.
The Storm are thrilled to have Loyd back for the foreseeable future. She is a dynamic player who can score from anywhere on the court and is also an excellent defender. She will be a key part of the team’s success for years to come.
This is great news for both the Storm and Loyd. The Storm get to keep one of their best players, while Loyd gets to stay in a place she is comfortable with and continue to build her legacy. It will be exciting to see what she can do in the coming years.
