Nika Muhl returns to Storrs as a pro

On Feb. 12 when the UConn Huskies hosted the St. John's Red Storm, Nika Muhl was in attendance, cheering on Paige Bueckers and the team. She spoke with SNY's Chelsea Sherrod, who asked Muhl how it felt like to return to her former home arena.

"I feel like I never left," Muhl said. "I feel like only a only a couple weeks ago I had that realization that I'm actually not here anymore. So it feels like I'm on the bench and not playing, like he benched me, that's what it feels like. So nothing new."

During her four-year run with the Huskies, Nika Muhl averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists. She is UConn's all-time leader in assists (686). Although she did not have the most impactful rookie season, Muhl was able to perform decently, thanks to her UConn days.

"I feel like this place prepared me for being a pro," she said. "I don't think there's any advice that I didn't get out of this place that of the alums out of coaches, out of the people that are already here. So, I wouldn't change a thing.

"I feel like I was prepared, mentally, physically, you know, it's just about figuring some stuff out by yourself, but I feel like they prepared me very well."

Nika Muhl is currently recovering from an ACL tear that she sustained on October 3, 2024 while playing for Besiktas in Turkey.
