Three-time All-Star and recent U.S. Olympian Jewell Loyd is returning to the Storm after signing a two-year deal with the franchise, according to Winsidr's Rachel Galligan.
News of Loyd's return comes as Yahoo Sports first reported that 2018 league MVP Breanna Stewart is returning to Seattle on a one-year deal and after four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird announced her decision to return for one final season.
Loyd averaged 17.9 points, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game—all career highs—for Seattle last season, and was named to the All-WNBA first team. Her teammates have also recognized her as being more consistent and emerging as a leader within the organization.
