After visa issues delayed her, Nika Muhl finally made her long-awaited WNBA debut on Wednesday. People have been clamoring for Muhl to play — even Angel Reese chimed in — and it seems Nika heard the chatter. She walked into pre-game activities wearing a hilarious visa-approved shirt.
A few weeks back, Nika Muhl was unsure she would make the team. (In the WNBA, being drafted is no guarantee to make the roster.) But, UConn head coach Geno Auriemma assured her that she would in a heartfelt conversation.
Then, work visa issues caused Muhl to miss four games and delayed her WNBA debut. However, Nika was finally ready to go Wednesday night. To celebrate the occasion — and show off her fantastic sense of humor — Muhl arrived in a genius visa approval shirt.
