Julie Vanloo stood outside Barclays Center waiting the final minutes to clear waivers. She had flown to New York a day earlier after getting cut by the Golden State Valkyries on Monday.

The Valkyries faced criticism for not telling Julie Vanloo she was cut before she skipped Belgium's EuroBasket title celebration to return to the U.S.

Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase pushed back on the way Golden State handled the waiving of guard Julie Vanloo.
