Jordan Loyd: I leave with a heavy heart

Jordan Loyd has officially parted ways with Maccabi Tel Aviv just a few months after joining. The Israeli club announced his departure late Wednesday night. Loyd explained his decision through a social media post, stating that “the recent attack was too much for me and my family,” making it impossible to continue his time in Israel.

In his message, Loyd expressed regret over leaving the club and his teammates, with whom he had developed strong bonds. “When I signed here this summer, I put my family’s concerns aside because I wanted so much to play for this club and the people here,” he said. Despite his hopes for an improvement in the situation, recent tensions forced him to make a difficult decision.

Loyd concluded by wishing the club “great success this season,” stating that he leaves with “a heavy heart” but knowing it was the right choice for him and his loved ones.
