After four years together, Nika Muhl and Paige Bueckers went on their separate career paths this summer. While Muhl now plays for the Seattle Storm, Bueckers chose to stay one more year at UConn.

However, it looks like the two still miss each other. On Thursday, Paige Bueckers posted a throwback of them on the court and wrote:

Nika Muhl and Paige Bueckers entered UConn together in 2020. After their campaign last year, Bueckers was asked about her friendship with Muhl and she said:

“Playing with Nika has just been a joy. It's kind of unfortunate we didn't get to play together more, but this is like my sister, my twin. She’s just been there for me for everything that I’ve been through. I’ve been there for her for whatever she’s going through.”

For nearly a year and a half, Paige Bueckers struggled with back-to-back injuries and Muhl supported her through it all. During last year's run, the two, along with Aaliyah Edwards, formed a strong core that led the Huskies through an injury-ridden season.

"It's always the expectation, no matter what team you have, no matter how many players you have on the court, that's the standard that we practice upon and that we play upon at the end of the day," Muhl added.
