Jewell Loyd reportedly requests trade after Storm say investigation turns up no violations [View all]

Six-time WNBA All-Star Jewell Loyd has seemingly played her last game with the Storm.

Following the conclusion of an investigation stemming from a player alleging mistreatment from the coaching staff, the Storm found “no findings of policy violations or any discrimination, harassment, or bullying,” the team said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon.

Hours later, Loyd requested a trade, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Loyd’s relationship with fourth-year coach Noelle Quinn, which started as teammates when both played for the Storm, appears to be at an impasse.

The Storm selected Loyd with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 WNBA draft and the 5-foot-10 guard has been a fixture of teams that won league championships in 2018 and 2020.
