Bueckers’ shoutout quickly gained traction, with fans loving the way she continues to uplift her former teammates even as their paths diverge. Her reaction also highlighted the strong bond that was built at UConn — a connection that seems to extend well beyond the court.

As Bueckers prepares for another season with the Huskies, it’s clear she remains one of the biggest supporters of those who helped shape her journey. Moments like these not only show the deep loyalty between former teammates but also reinforce why Bueckers is seen as a future leader both in college basketball and beyond.

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.
