Loyd played 34 games with 23 starts in her rookie season for the Storm. Her season performance would earn her the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award, while averaging 10.7 ppg. In her second season, Loyd developed into a star player and was the starting shooting guard for the Storm, averaging 16.5 ppg. During the season, Loyd scored a career-high 32 points in a win against the Phoenix Mercury. Loyd was also named to the All-WNBA Second Team. The Storm made it back to the playoffs for the first time in three years with the number 7 seed in the league, but were eliminated in the first round by the Atlanta Dream.
