Seattle Storm’s rookie player Nika Mühl made a striking entrance at the Climate Pledge Arena on Monday night for the team’s game against the Dallas Wings. Mühl’s outfit, consisting of a black jacket and pants, caught the attention of fans as she also showcased her bellybutton piercing. While fans appreciated her style, many were eagerly awaiting her debut on the court.
During the game, Mühl played for 6 minutes in the Storm’s 95-71 victory, attempting one shot, a 3-pointer, but unfortunately not scoring any points in the limited time she was given. The rookie player, who was selected by the Storm in the second round of the draft in April, is part of the same rookie class as players like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Mühl has appeared in 10 games so far, averaging 2.6 minutes per game without scoring.
Fans have been vocal about their desire to see Mühl showcase her skills on the court. The former UConn standout, a two-time All-Big East selection and a two-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year winner, had an impressive senior season, averaging 6.9 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.2 steals.
With the recent win against Dallas, the Seattle Storm improved their record to 13-6, placing them in fourth in the WNBA standings behind the New York Liberty, Connecticut Sun, and Minnesota Lynx. As Mühl continues to work towards making a significant impact on the court, fans eagerly anticipate her upcoming performances.
