UConn star Paige Bueckers was loving her former teammate Nika Muhl’s pregame outfit on Wednesday night.
Bueckers was very supportive of her Huskies teammates who went to the WNBA Draft last month and continues to show support as she heads into another year in college with two years of eligibility left.
She took to Twitter/X to talk up Muhl’s outfit ahead of her regular season debut this Wednesday.
“This is the one,” she wrote as a reaction to a tweet from the WNBA account showing the Croatian’s fit off.
Check it out below:
Muhl wore a t-shirt featuring an approved visa as she made fun of the visa situation that prevented her from making her debut in the Storm’s opener and playing in their first four games.
As it happened, she got her first taste of WNBA action against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, having earned praise for locking the latter down during their NCAA Tournament clash earlier this year.
Clark went on to lose the matchup, which marked a worrying 0-5 start for her in the pros. But Nika didn’t get much time on the floor as she only played for three minutes, hauling two rebounds.
Nika Muhl Could Be One To Watch In The WNBA
Nika Muhl burst onto the scene during March Madness this year, and her popularity soared ahead of the draft.
The Storm selected her in the second round, making her one of two UConn players drafted as Aaliyah Edwards went to the Washington Mystics at No. 6 overall.
Seattle won its second game of the season, going 2-3, on Wednesday night. Muhl’s fans would have been pleased to see her in action, albeit minimal, in her first professional game.
They will hope for a bigger role for her as the season unfolds.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
