Jewell Loyd, Storm Agree to 2-Year Contract Extension; Includes Supermax in Year 1

Seattle Storm star Jewell Loyd agreed to a two-year contract extension Saturday that includes supermax money in the first year of the deal, her agent told ESPN's Andraya Carter.

Loyd, 29, is now locked in with the organization through 2025 on a deal just under $500,000 after she set the franchise's single-season scoring record previously held by Breanna Stewart on Friday night.

She now has 911 points for the year and will have a few more seasons in the Emerald City to keep etching her name in the record books.

One of the few remaining pieces from Seattle's 2020 WNBA title, Loyd has been the lone bright spot during what's been a forgettable first season without Stewart, who signed with the New York Liberty in free agency.

The Storm currently have the second-worst record in the league at 11-28 and have already been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2015, Loyd's rookie season.

The team's poor performance hasn't stopped Loyd from shining, though. She leads the league in scoring with 24.6 points per game, directly in front of MVP front runners Stewart (23.3) and A'ja Wilson (22.5).

And with that production has come even more accolades. Loyd was selected to her third-consecutive All-Star game and was named All-Star game MVP. She also looks well on her way to a second All-WNBA First-Team selection to go along with her shiny new contract extension.
