SEATTLE — Seattle Storm rookie Nika Muhl wore a graphic t-shirt that gave a nod to her recent visa troubles ahead of her WNBA debut.
The WNBA posted Muhl's entrance into Climate Pledge Arena on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption, "Lookin' good, feelin' better." The shirt featured a mock photo of her professional visa with a stamp of approval across it.
Muhl, a Croatian citizen, missed the first four games of the regular season due to issues acquiring a professional visa. She was able to play some in a pre-season game, but that was because she had not yet graduated from college and was still on a student visa.
It was announced by the Storm earlier in the day Wednesday that she was cleared to play after a trip to the U.S. Consulate in Vancouver.
Muhl paired the cropped tee with a denim mini skirt, green knee-high, heeled boots, black sunglasses and a black bag.
Fans on social media are loving the look, calling it "iconic" and "legendary." Even Muhl's former teammate at the University of Connecticut, Paige Bueckers, commented on the post, saying, "This is the one."
The Seattle Storm faced off against the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark at Climate Pledge Arena at 7 p.m.
