Former UConn guard Nika Muhl went viral after her defensive performance against Caitlin Clark during the 2023 NCAA Tournament. She has quickly made a name for herself in the WNBA despite not playing very many minutes.

Seattle Storm rookie Nika Muhl usually knows that she won’t be getting much time during the game, so she makes sure that she has quite the entrance before the game.

Muhl recently went viral for her pregame outfit ahead of the Storm’s Sunday matchup against the Connecticut Sun.

She showed up to Climate Pledge Arena in a Brown Pistola Pamela High-Rise Straight Trousers with a wide leg, zip closure, wide waistband, and buckle loops, per DanielleGuiziony.com.

Muhl had a black purse in her hand, as well as her cell phone.

She paired the look with what appeared to be some blue heels.

Fans took to social media and showed their admiration for what Muhl wore:

The Connecticut Sun and Seattle Storm met Sunday, and the home team would come out with the much-needed win.

Guard Jewell Loyd led the way for the Storm with 16 points on 5 for 15 shooting from the field. She also added five rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Skylar Diggins-Smith had 15 points on 5 of 14 shooting to go along with four rebounds and eight assists.

For Nika Muhl, her play was as expected as she never saw a minute of action in this game, per Yahoo Sports.

Nika Muhl Had Message On Her ‘State Of Mind’ In WNBA

Nika Muhl may have entered the league as a highly touted prospect out of UConn, but she has yet to see any real-time on the court.

Fans have been quick to criticize the Storm for leaving Muhl on the bench, but she has a different response.

She recently went to Instagram to send a message, saying, “Work is my state of mind,” said Muhl.

REPORT: Stephen A Smith Rejects Offer From ESPN, Demands Ridiculous New Salary Amid Massive Layoffs

ESPN has laid off a ton of employees in the past few years, but that fact is not going to stop Stephen A Smith from getting the money that he wants and thinks he deserves as a top talent on the network.

ESPN is trying hard not to let Stephen A Smith leave the network as it was reported that the Worldwide Leader in Sports offered a whopping $90 million over five years, which would see him with an annual salary of $18 million.

That is damn good money to have, but it appears to be a slap in the face for Smith.

ESPN reportedly pitched to Smith’s agency, WME, that he could become the highest-paid talent on their team, but Puck News stated Smith is demanding $7 million more than that for his next deal.

Journalist James Andrew Miller was recently on the “SI Media with Jimmy Traina” podcast when he revealed Smith wanted a “big, big number.”

“I think there have been preliminary talks already that have started,” Miller said of Smith and ESPN. “He’s looking for a big, big number. And I also feel, given the content world, he doesn’t even have to have another offer from one entity for that big number.

“I think what ESPN is up against is the possibility that WME could go out and create an architecture where Stephen A. has a podcast, a this, a deal with this, a deal with that, whatever, and at the end of the day, it’s $20 million a year.”
