Nika Muhl, a 24-year-old point guard for the Seattle Storm, successfully underwent her second ACL surgery on March 11, 2026, after tearing her ACL and meniscus during the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers. This injury marks another setback for Muhl, who previously missed the entire 2025 WNBA season due to a torn ACL in her left knee. Following her surgery, she shared her journey on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the support she has received. South Carolina Gamecocks guard Ta’Niya Latson extended her prayers for Muhl’s recovery, highlighting the camaraderie among players. The Seattle Storm, who selected Muhl with the No. 14 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, now faces significant challenges in depth for the upcoming season. However, they are bolstered by the return of Jordan Horston, who is cleared to play after her own ACL injury. With the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft, the Storm has the opportunity to select a talented guard to fill the void left by Muhl.
