While most of the world’s attention is focused on Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark when it comes to rookies in the WNBA, Kate Martin and Nika Muhl have also created quite an impressive fanbase for themselves.
Martin is a former Iowa Hawkeye who now plays for the Las Vegas Aces while Muhl played for the UConn Huskies and now suits up for the Seattle Storm.
The Aces and Storm face off during a matinee WNBA game on Wednesday.
And prior to the game, a photo of Martin and Muhl sharing a wholesome moment surfaced on social media.
