While the Seattle Storm guard recovers from her knee injury, she’s getting some adorable help from her new friends.

Nika Muhl was a fit and selfie queen all season for the Seattle Storm. Nothing has changed now for the injured guard, except for some furry friends.

The 23-year-old Muhl had finished her rookie WNBA season before she suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in her first overseas game with Turkish club Besiktas.

She’s still posting selfies since the injury, and even starring in a Mazda ad where she shows off a chic crop top and elegant accessories.

In her latest post, Muhl added some new friends for her selfie. She captioned the adorable post, “featuring Mad Max & G 🦿 lets get it.”

How cute! Of course Muhl had to rock the stylish sunglasses to complete the look.

Her UConn Huskies bestie Paige Bueckers took notice and commented, “Bed rest could never stop a good photo shoot.”

Muhl has had to overcome hardships before. From 2016-2020 Muhl played in her native country of Croatia before heading to the states to suit up for the legendary Huskies program. After being selected 14th overall in the 2024 WNBA draft, the Croatian beauty missed the first few games of the WNBA preseason because of visa issues. 

Muhl is a fan favorite for the Storm despite not playing much. She’ll be even more of one after these posts.
