Storm place injured G Nika Muhl on suspended list
April 22 - Seattle Storm guard Nika Muhl will miss the 2025 season after being placed on the suspended list Tuesday. Muhl, 24, sustained an ACL tear in October for Turkish club Besiktas.

Muhl played just 57 minutes over 16 games last season as a rookie and scored two points on 1-of-14 shooting. She was a second-round pick (14th overall) in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Croatian-born Muhl was a popular college player at UConn and was twice named Big East Defensive Player of the Year. She averaged 5.8 points and 5.2 assists and racked up 187 total steals in 131 games (109 starts). Muhl averaged 7.9 assists as a junior and 6.5 as a senior.

Nika Muhl's Statement Outfit Catches Paige Bueckers' Attention
Seattle Storm guard Nika Muhl didn't let a setback derail her momentum, and her former UConn Huskies teammate Paige Bueckers made sure to cheer her on loud and clear. On Friday, the team announced that the Croatian player and forward Jordan Horston have officially been ruled out for the 2025 WNBA season after both suffered ACL tears during the offseason. Advertisement Amid the saddening news, Muhl seemed determined to stay positive after giving fans a peek into her offseason. In her latest post on Instagram, the 24-year-old player shared an outfit recap from the 2025 WNBA Draft that she attended. 'Key pieces only,' she wrote, along with snaps of her outfit details that gave off chic, street-style vibes. As seen in the post, Muhl's outfit focused on a dark ensemble–a structured blazer over a black bralette that showed off a bit of skin. In addition to this, she paired it with high-waisted, wide-leg bottoms that elongated her legs and for a pop of color, her stylist elevated the look with denim pointy-toed shoes. Advertisement Completing the look was her choice of accessories. She opted for black sunglasses and a leather handbag that matched the color palette, but she added a trendy touch with a silver crossbody chain adorned with keys. Interestingly, her Instagram update didn't just stun fans but also her fellow UConn alumni. As mentioned, Bueckers playfully hyped up Muhl with a teasing comment. 'Better be a Mazda key on there,' she wrote.
