Nika Muhl Misses Entire 2025 WNBA Season Due to ACL Injury

Seattle Storm guard Nika Muhl will miss the entire 2025 WNBA season after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus injury during her first game with Turkish club Besiktas in the offseason. The injury required knee surgery and has placed her on the Storm’s suspended list, halting her development after a rookie year already disrupted by visa issues and limited playing time. Despite these setbacks, Muhl remains known for her defensive tenacity and resilience, earning past accolades as a two-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year and UConn’s all-time assists leader. The loss is compounded for the Storm as teammate Jordan Horston will also miss the season due to a similar injury. Fans and teammates have praised Muhl’s work ethic and determination, and she has expressed her commitment to return stronger. The Storm will now have to move forward without two of their promising young players for the upcoming season.
