Loyd found his best version against Maccabi

AS Monaco had to battle hard to defeat Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 86-67 at home in Round 26. The good news keeps coming at Cote d'Azur, as Jordan Loyd had one of his best games this season.
Loyd was one of Monaco's pillars early in the season until getting injured in a Round 12 game against Real Madrid when he received an accidental elbow from Guerschon Yabusele. He had to undergo nose surgery and missed two games. When he came back in Round 15, Loyd only stepped on the court for 64 seconds before leaving the game with a shoulder injury. Once he came back, Loyd averaged 6.8 points and a PIR of 3.5 in his first four games after his injuries.

In the last three games, however, Loyd has been his usual self, averaging 15.7 points on great shooting (72.7% 2FG, 50.0% 3FG, 90.9% FT), 3.0 assists and a PIR of 17.7. Against Maccabi, Loyd led all scorers with 18 points, adding 4 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and 5 fouls drawn for a PIR of 26, spending more time on the court more than any other Monaco player - almost 31 minutes.
"Tonight, we really fought and I am really happy for that," Loyd said after the game. "Winning solves a lot of stuff, right? We are really excited. We just want to build off this."
