Storm G Nika Mühl to Miss 2nd Straight WNBA Season With Torn ACL

Seattle Storm guard Nika Mühl underwent successful surgery on Tuesday, March 31, to repair a torn ACL she suffered while playing for Croatia — her home country — in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers, the Storm announced on Wednesday.

It’s another massive blow to Mühl’s professional basketball career, as she will miss a second-straight WNBA season. Mühl missed the 2025 season also due to a torn ACL, which was also suffered while playing overseas.

By the end of the 2026 season, Mühl, a 2024 second-round pick in the WNBA Draft, will have appeared in just 16 games in three seasons since joining the Storm.
