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.
Nika Muhl joined her sister and mother in showing love as she reposted Sara's post on Instagram. The former Huskies star shared the story with a two-word caption:
"Knee Twin," she wrote alongside a heart emoji.
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.
Nika Muhl sends love to former teammate Paige Bueckers
Former UConn star Nika Muhl was seen sending love to her Huskies teammate Paige Bueckers on Instagram on Monday. The Minnesota native shared a recap post, featuring images of her various ventures from 2024.
Quoting a biblical verse, Paige captioned the post with a short message:
" Thank you God for an amazing year🙏🏼“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Psalm 107:1," she wrote.
Muhl commented on Paige's post, expressing her belief that there is much more in store for her former teammate in the coming year. She wrote:
"Next one gonna be even better"
Paige is reported to be the projected No. 1 pick in next year's draft, and Muhl's comment hints at a significant move in the Huskie star's imminent future. While it's still speculative, Bueckers enters 2025 with a lot of optimism and hopes to celebrate another great year around the sun.
