Nika Mühl (knee) will miss the 2025 season.

While there was some hope that Mühl, who tore her ACL in October while playing for Turkish club Besiktas, would return later this season, the Storm announced Friday that she will sit out the 2025 campaign. WNBA rules allow teams to place players injured during the offseason on the suspended list, which means their contracts and roster spots will not count toward league limits during that season. Mühl appeared in 16 games during her first WNBA season, averaging 3.6 minutes per game. With Jordan Horston (knee) also ruled out for the 2025 season, Seattle will go into training camp with 16 players. General manager Talisa Rhea said earlier this week that she expects to begin the regular season with 11 players on the roster.
