Seattle Storm star Nika Muhl's loved ones were seen sending their support to Wofford Terriers guard Sara Deidda on Instagram on Monday. Posting a nostalgic update on her social media, the Croatian star received heartfelt messages from her countrymen, including Muhl's mom and sister.

Deidda shared two images on Instagram, writing the caption in her native tongue. Translated, it reads: "Heaven loves patiently..."

“Nebo strpljive voli…”

Nika's mom, Roberta, and her sister, Hanah, were among those who commented on Deidda's post, expressing their love to the Terriers star. Both replied to Sara in Croatian, with Roberta writing:

"Tetkino💪🩷"

The single word, meaning "Aunt," highlighted the close bond between them. Manhattan University's Hanah Muhl also responded to Deidda's post:

"zajedno kroz sve🩷," she wrote.

Muhl, drafted with the 14th pick in the WNBA draft, has been an inspiring figure for her fellow Croatians as she became only the fifth Croat to ever play in the WNBA. The former Huskies star had a stellar career in Connecticut and now carries on Sue Bird's legacy in the Seattle Storm jersey.
