Jewell Loyd was recently traded to Las Vegas Aces

Jewell Loyd was part of a blockbuster three-team trade in January, which ended her tenure with the Seattle Storm and sent her to the Las Vegas Aces. The same deal also saw Kelsey Plum leave the Aces to join the LA Sparks.

Loyd spent 10 seasons with the Storm, earning numerous accolades, including two WNBA titles and Rookie of the Year honors, among others. Now, the veteran guard will look to add to her championship legacy as she teams up with A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray with the Aces.
