Seattle Storm's New Nika Muhl Photo Fuels Desperate Plea From Fans

On Monday, July 1, at 10:00 PM ET, Nika Muhl and the Seattle Storm will take on the Dallas Wings, who are tied with the Los Angeles Sparks for last place in the WNBA Western Conference standings. The Storm are on a three-game winning streak and will look to add to that total with another victory.

Muhl, the former UConn Huskies standout, was selected with the No. 14 pick in the second round of the 2024 WNBA Draft. She has only played in nine games so far this season, and in those games, she is averaging just over two minutes of action.

A few hours before the game, the official Storm social media account released a new photo of Muhl and her teammate, Jordan Horston.

The new image fueled a plea from WNBA fans, imploring the Storm to give Muhl more playing time.

"Quit using her for likes when you don’t even play her. [Obviously] not the media [team's] fault, but dang, give her some minutes."

"It would be nice to see how their chemistry plays out on the court."

"Would love to see them play together."

"[Admin] doing everything they can to beat the [Nika] waived allegations."

"Y’all need to utilize this chemistry ON THE COURT."

"Would love if she actually played…"

In 19 total minutes of action in the 2024 season, Muhl has yet to score her first WNBA basket. She has only recorded two shot attempts, both of which were in garbage time. Will fans get the Muhl minutes they want on Monday night?
