    Women's college basketball star Paige Bueckers was in attendance for the Seattle Storm-Chicago Sky matchup Friday night. Bueckers said she traveled to Seattle to watch her "twin" Nika Muhl live out her dreams in the WNBA. She was interviewed during the game and revealed her true thoughts on the Storm rookie's WNBA journey.

    Muhl and Bueckers played four seasons together for the UConn Huskies at the collegiate level. Both were incredible contributors for one of the biggest women's basketball powerhouses last season, seen as two of the most talented guards in the nation.

    “Just excited to come visit my twin. I’m excited to be here… Super surreal just to watch her live out her dreams. Just to know that just a few months ago we were basically living together. It’s definitely surreal," said Bueckers via X.

    Bueckers shared her excitement for her "twin" and WNBA fans were loving the support for her former teammate. The video was posted all over social media, showing high praise toward Bueckers.
