Julie Vanloo returned to San Francisco as a member of the Los Angeles Sparks after being waived by the Golden State Valkyries. Vanloo expressed that she has made peace with her situation despite experiencing deep heartbreak. She learned of her release while returning from celebrating a EuroBasket championship with the Belgian national team. Vanloo shared that the abrupt nature of the news left her feeling lonely and devastated, yet she acknowledges the business aspect of professional sports and embraces her new opportunity in Los Angeles.
I was at peace even the day after it happened because honestly, I'm just the type of person that likes to keep it moving. At the end of the day, it's a business and I do respect that. I'm just happy to be in L.A. But I'm an emotional person for sure, so it's touchy to be back.
To hear 1 hour upon arrival: we have to waive you. Honestly, that stung. I understand it's business, but nothing prepares you for the loneliness that comes with getting cut. It feels like the whole world suddenly crashes on your shoulders.
