Jordan Lloyd returns to Monaco "fleeing" from Maccabi Tel Aviv

Jordan Loyd has made the decision to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv due to the current war in Israel and has signed an agreement to return to AS Monaco until 2026, the club where he had previously enjoyed success. Loyd recently scored 16 points against Monaco itself in Round 2 of the EuroLeague, although he will be available to defend the colors of the principality's team in the next round.

Jordan Lloyd's Statements

The American shooting guard expressed his joy in returning to the club. “Obviously, I have countless memories in Monaco. My daughter was born here, I have lifelong brothers on this team. Coming back is very special. For me, it was an easy decision. I am very grateful for this opportunity,” he commented on AS Monaco's official website.

Loyd also thanked the support of the Monegasque fans. “Monaco fans have always been close to my heart, they have given me and my family a lot of love. I have received many messages and I am very happy about it. Now, my goal is to integrate as best as possible into this team, doing what I know to take the team as far as possible and fight for the EuroLeague title," he added.

Loyd's return is a special reunion with the club where he was the MVP of the LNB finals in 2023, after a brief stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv. In his European career, the shooting guard has also played for teams like Crvena Zvezda, Valencia Basket, and Zenit Saint Petersburg. His return to Monaco strengthens the team's goal of competing at the highest level in the EuroLeague.
