Former UConn guard Nika Muhl went viral after her defensive performance against Caitlin Clark during the 2023 NCAA Tournament. She has quickly made a name for herself in the WNBA despite not playing very many minutes.
Seattle Storm rookie Nika Muhl usually knows that she won’t be getting much time during the game, so she makes sure that she has quite the entrance before the game.
Muhl recently went viral for her pregame outfit ahead of the Storm’s Sunday matchup against the Connecticut Sun.
She showed up to Climate Pledge Arena in a Brown Pistola Pamela High-Rise Straight Trousers with a wide leg, zip closure, wide waistband, and buckle loops, per DanielleGuiziony.com.
Muhl had a black purse in her hand, as well as her cell phone.
She paired the look with what appeared to be some blue heels.

The Connecticut Sun and Seattle Storm met Sunday, and the home team would come out with the much-needed win.
Guard Jewell Loyd led the way for the Storm with 16 points on 5 for 15 shooting from the field. She also added five rebounds, five assists, and two steals.
Skylar Diggins-Smith had 15 points on 5 of 14 shooting to go along with four rebounds and eight assists.
For Nika Muhl, her play was as expected as she never saw a minute of action in this game, per Yahoo Sports.
Nika Muhl Had Message On Her ‘State Of Mind’ In WNBA
Nika Muhl may have entered the league as a highly touted prospect out of UConn, but she has yet to see any real-time on the court.
Fans have been quick to criticize the Storm for leaving Muhl on the bench, but she has a different response.
She recently went to Instagram to send a message, saying, “Work is my state of mind,” said Muhl.
