Paige Bueckers has been making the rounds. The UConn basketball star has seemingly been everywhere this Summer and her latest stop was Seattle, to support former teammate and Storm rookie Nika Muhl.

Paige sported Muhl's Storm jersey which isn't surprising given Bueckers also referred to Nika as her "twin". Muhl has a lot of those lately since that was the word also used by fellow rookie Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky to describe the matching fits each recently wore.
You know who I’m rocking 😝 https://t.co/abR7tVNn9O

Obviously Bueckers is even more familiar with her former Husky teammate and had this to say about the moment, “Just excited to come visit my twin. I’m excited to be here… Super surreal just to watch her live out her dreams. Just to know that just a few months ago we were basically living together. It’s definitely surreal."

Paige was also recently spotted at the Commissioner's Cup final to show support to her hometown Minnesota Lynx and at a Washington Mystics game, showing love to yet another former college teammate, Aaliyah Edwards.
Muhl has not gotten much opportunity for the Storm so far in her rookie season, the guard from Croatia has only averaged 2.6 minutes per game. She has yet to score her first WNBA basket. But that didn't stop Paige from coming out to watch.
The WNBA has announced ‘Year 1’, a four-episode docuseries focusing on four rookies:
