Seattle Storm standout Nika Muhl compares herself to Inspector Gadget with pre-game photos, sparking reactions from fans

Seattle Storm standout Nika Muhl recently turned heads with her pregame outfit prior to tonight's game with the Indiana Fever. With the Storm on a three-game win streak heading into tonight's game on the road, Muhl was feeling herself. Her pregame outfit, which appeared to be inspired by cartoon character Inspector Gadget, seemed to be a hit with fans.

Wearing a pair of baggy jeans along with a trench coat and sunglasses, Muhl put on her best Inspector Gadget impression. The similarity between her outfit and Inspector Gadget's signature trench coat were quickly pointed out by fans, but Muhl had already beat them to the punch.

In a carousel post on Instagram, she shared several pregame arrival photos, concluding the series of pictures with one of Inspector Gadget. From the looks of things, the outfit appears to be an intentional hat-tip to the famous cartoon character.

Of course, the NBA/WNBA community was quick to crack jokes about the situation ahead of tonight's highly anticipated game. Check out the series of photos and a clip of her arrival as well as some reactions from fans below:

Looking ahead at the Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever game tonight amid Nika Muhl's Instagram picture

As previously mentioned, tonight's Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever game will see Nika Muhl and the Storm look to build momentum on a three-game win streak. After falling to the New York Liberty on May 20, the team bounced back with a big 85-83 win over the Fever on May 22.

At the time, the team was just 1-3 for the season, but with their recent three-game win streak, they are seventh in the WNBA with a 4-3 record. On the flip side, the Indiana Fever have continued to struggle this season, losing two straight games and four out of their last five.

Despite adding Caitlin Clark to their roster, the team has a 1-7 record that sees them sitting in 11th place in the WNBA, and fifth in the Eastern Conference.

This season, Nika Muhl has suited up for just two of the Storm's games, playing four minutes in the May 25 win over the Mystics, and three minutes in the May 22 win over the Fever.

Nevertheless, she has yet to log a single point on the box score since the May 7 preseason win over the Phoenix Mercury, where she recorded six points, three rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes.

With the team looking to make it four straight tonight against the Fever, it will be interesting to see if coach Noelle Quinn gives Nika Muhl any minutes.
