M\u00fchl suffered the injury while competing for Croatia in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers last month alongside incoming UConn recruit Olivia Vukosa. The 6-foot point guard also sustained a torn\u00a0ACL in her left knee in October 2024 while playing for Turkish club Be\u015fikta\u015f, which resulted in M\u00fchl missing the entirety of the 2025 WNBA season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An international recruit out of Zagreb, Croatia, M\u00fchl joined\u00a0UConn ahead of the 2020-21 season, quickly earning a prominent role within Geno Auriemma’s setup and distinguishing herself as a historic playmaker. M\u00fchl holds\u00a0UConn’s single-season (284) and career (686) records for assists, playing in 139 games across her four-year run in\u00a0Storrs.<\/p>\n
She was selected with the No. 14 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Storm, one of two\u00a0UConn players drafted that season alongside Aaliyah Edwards, but was largely relegated to the bench in her rookie year with the West Coast team. M\u00fchl returned from her first ACL injury last winter to play for Sopron Basket, but she suffered an ankle injury that derailed her stint with the Hungarian club after 13 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"M\u00fchl suffered the injury while competing for Croatia in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers last month alongside incoming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559611,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[13590,13589,99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-559610","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-all-daily-sites","9":"tag-ct-insider","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559610\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
