Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese recently took to social media to voice her thoughts regarding trending topics in the WNBA, including visa delays for international players and the implementation of charter flights for teams. Her tweet, highlighted the ongoing struggles of Nika Muhl, a Croatian point guard for the Seattle Storm, and called for equitable treatment and increased publicity for all teams.
Muhl’s highly anticipated debut for the Storm has been postponed due to visa issues. The former UConn women’s basketball star missed the Storm’s regular-season opener against the Minnesota Lynx as she awaits approval for a U.S. work visa. Muhl’s visa complications are the latest hurdle in her transition from college basketball to the WNBA. She was unable to participate in the Storm’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Sparks in Edmonton, Canada, on May 4, and her absence extended to the home opener against the Lynx.
“Get Nika her visa NOW, charter flights are HERE, give every team the same PUBLICITY cause it ain’t just one team, online bullying ain’t it AT ALL, and oh the CHICAGO SKY ARE HERE & ON THE RISE! ,” Reese said on X, formerly Twitter
