Tuesday was no different as she showed up in an elegant dress in UConn blue.

Nika understood the assignment.

Muhl was forced to miss the first few games of the WNBA preseason because of visa issues and she has received very limited minutes to start her professional career, but "The Minister of Defense" is still a fan-favorite and draws a loyal following wherever she goes.

The Storm currently sits in third place in the Western Conference and fifth place overall in the WNBA standings with a record of 19-13.

Connecticut, meanwhile, has the league's second-best record at 24-8. The Sun, meanwhile, have the league's second-best record at 24-8.
