The FIBA EuroBasket 2025 standout guard had previously been linked to Real Madrid, but the Spanish club reportedly faced too many obstacles to sign him away from AS Monaco.
Efes is now set to strengthen its roster by adding Loyd alongside recent ex-NBA arrivals Cole Swider and Kai Jones.
Loyd shone at EuroBasket, averaging 22.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 54.7% on two-pointers, 42.2% from three, and 87.5% from the free-throw line. Poland finished their appearance in the quarterfinals.
The American-Polish guard still has one year left on his contract with Monaco. In last season's EuroLeague, he posted 9.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.
