Nika Muhl Out with Torn ACL in SuperCup

Seattle Storm rookie Nika Muhl suffered a torn ACL while playing for Besiktas in Turkey during the FIBA SuperCup Women title game against Fenerbahce, effectively ending her first overseas season. The injury happened as her left knee buckled while attempting a rebound, and she was stretchered off the court in visible distress. Muhl, a former UConn star known for her defensive prowess, had limited playing time in her rookie WNBA season with the Storm but was considered a promising talent. Reactions from fellow players, including former teammate Gabby Williams, and both her teams highlight the support she's received. This setback could potentially sideline her for the entire 2025 WNBA season as she embarks on a lengthy rehabilitation process. Muhl expressed her determination to overcome the injury, seeing it as a challenge to compete against herself.
