A total of 10,725 fans were in attendance to see Nika Muhl’s Seattle Storm take on the Chicago Sky on Friday. But Muhl was thrilled to see one particular fan in the crowd. The UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers was spotted courtside at the Climate Pledge Arena. She was wearing Muhl’s green Storm jersey to support her former teammate.
It has been just over three months since Muhl and Bueckers suited up on the court together for the Huskies. The two players share a special connection after spending the last four years together in Storrs.
Muhl was hyped to see her former teammate rocking a No. 1 Seattle Storm jersey. Shortly after the game, she shared an Instagram story with a short video of Bueckers.
“Das my twin twin,” Muhl wrote.

During an in-game interview, Bueckers reciprocated by calling Muhl her “twin.” She added that she was proud of the Croatian star for achieving her dream of playing in the WNBA.
The Huskies’ Final Four loss in April to Iowa turned out to be Muhl’s final collegiate game. 10 days later, the Seattle Storm drafted her with the 14th overall pick.
Bueckers is entering her senior year with UConn. She is projected to be one of the top picks in next year’s draft.

Muhl and Bueckers were instrumental in the team’s deep tournament runs in 2022 and 2024. Although they never won a championship, UConn made it to the Final Four on both occasions and reached the Sweet 16 in 2023.
Muhl and Bueckers featured in all 39 games for the UConn Huskies during the 2023/24 NCAA season.
Muhl was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2022 and 2023. She also holds the program’s assist record with 686 assists over four seasons.
Bueckers was rewarded for an outstanding freshman season by being named the AP Player of the Year and the Naismith College Player of the Year in 2021. She was also named Big East Player of the Year in 2024. She is considered one of the most dominant offensive threats in the collegiate game entering the 2024/25 season.
