Overview

• Shyanne Sellers, drafted 17th overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has been waived by the Golden State Valkyries, the team's first training camp cut.
• Sellers was projected as a top-10 pick but fell to the second round, with the Valkyries citing her versatility as a key reason for selecting her.
• Coach Natalie Nakase stated the decision was based on selecting the 12 players who best fit the team's competitive needs, not necessarily the most talented.
• Despite concerns about a prior knee sprain, reports indicate her health was not a factor in the decision to waive her.
• Sellers will remain on waivers for 48 hours; if unclaimed, she will become a free agent, potentially leaving her rookie contract voided.
