Seattle Storm rookie Nika Mühl turned heads Monday night as she entered Climate Pledge Arena for the team's game against the Dallas Wings.

Mühl wore a black jacket and pants and showed off his bare torso with a pierced navel. Storm fans appreciated his look, but were more interested in knowing when he would get playing time.

The former UConn standout played six minutes in the Storm's 95-71 win. She had one shot attempt, a 3-pointer, but failed to score in the limited minutes.

The Storm selected Mühl with the second pick in the second round of the draft in April. She is in the same rookie class as Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and others. She has appeared in 10 games, averaged 2.6 minutes per game and has yet to score.
