    The Seattle Storm suffered a brutal 88-84 loss to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Friday. While the game featured some elite-level play across the board, one of the major headlines was Paige Bueckers' attendance in Seattle. The UConn star was sitting courtside wearing a Nika Muhl jersey, repping her former Huskies teammate.

    Bueckers and Muhl were photographed sharing a postgame exchange while both players were rocking the Storm's green and yellow, via Seattle Storm on X.

    The UConn guard mentioned that visiting Muhl was part of her West Coast trip, which included traveling to different states in the U.S. before preseason training at UConn.

    Their postgame photo received over 68K views less than two hours into the post.

    Bueckers spoke on her support for Muhl during an interview in Seattle, sharing her honest take on the rookie's WNBA opportunity.

    “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.

    They played four seasons together with the Huskies, having lost in the NCAA tournament national semi-final in 2023 and 2024.

    During Muhl’s rookie season, she's averaged 0.6 points and 0.1 assists. She didn't see the floor against the Sky, but Seattle will welcome Chicago back into the Emerald City on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.
