Two-time Olympic gold medalist Jewell Loyd announced that she would join Project B, the new women’s basketball league that is expected to begin in Europe and Asia in November 2026.
Loyd announced her decision on social media on Tuesday, a day after former WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones said she’d play in the fledgling league that offers players high salaries and an equity stake. Loyd helped the Las Vegas Aces win their third championship in four seasons , coming off the bench for the first time in her career. She has now won three WNBA titles.
“Every step forward in this game is an investment in what’s possible. I believe in where women’s basketball is headed, and the worldwide momentum is real,” Loyd said. “I’m excited to help shape what comes next for the next generation.”
