Jordan Loyd has a deal in place from Turkish powerhouse Anadolu Efes, reports Aris Barkas for EuroHoops. The deal necessitated a buyout from AS Monaco, the team with which he played for the last three seasons.
Loyd, who played 12 games for the Raptors in the 2018/19 season and averaged 2.4 points in 4.6 minutes, averaged 10.7 points for Monaco during last year’s EuroLeague play.
The 6’4″ guard rose once again to prominence this summer as a key contributor on the Polish national team that went to the EuroBasket quarterfinals. He averaged 22.4 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 42.2% from three and was named to the tournament’s All-Star Second Team.
It was previously reported that Real Madrid had made a strong push for Loyd’s services, but his La Liga rights are held by Valencia.
On Anadolu Efes, Loyd will join former NBA players Shane Larkin, Rodrigue Beaubois, PJ Dozier, Cole Swider, Kai Jones, Georgios Papagiannis, and Vincent Poirier.
