Social media report from yesterday's Croatia v Greece game -
"Nika Mühl hit the floor after driving to the rim and is on the ground grabbing at her right knee. She’s being helped off the court at the moment. Doesn’t appear that she can apply much pressure to her affected leg"

Oh no! Man, it seems like she can't get a break. I hope it's nothing too serious, but the grabbing the knee doesn't sound good..
 
I hate this for her. She looked great before injury, aggressive, assisting...being Nika ! ....and then she went down :( Haven't been able to find an update on injury. She can not catch a break. Both games ( in the fall and now yesterday ) playing for her national team she goes down with an injury, let's just hope it's not major and she get's back on the court to help them secure there spot for 2027.

Ugh. She got hurt playing first game against Greece in November. Now, first game and again against Greece.Tore ACL in first game for Besitkas. Always the first game, and always playing lights out when it happens.

Heartbreaking.

It may be a while before we hear anything definite based on past experience with reporting of injuries occurring overseas.

They showed a good slo-mo. There was some lateral flexion, but it didn't look like too much. OTOH, her leg gave out immediately. Keeping fingers crossed that she's healthy for the alleged WNBA season.

Switched to #1 when joining the Storm, due to Sue Bird’s upcoming number retirement, #1 has brought nothing but bad luck! Wearing #10 all she had were few ankle injuries, then basically an iron woman leading the team in minutes played her last couple years while at UConn - dropping the 0 has definitely not been nothing! I just hope this one is not major, Ironically I’ve been worried since she turned pro as she stopped wearing her signature ankle braces - never in my worst nightmares considered what she has been plagued with,

I did a search in Croatian and found an article about the match against Greece, but unfortunately, there isn't much information. I translated the article using translation software, and the original article is also attached.

The Croatian women's basketball team convincingly defeated the Greeks 98-73 in Šibenik! Ivana Dojkić shone with 27 points. Dario Šarić cheered from the crowd. Croatia leads Group F, will they stay on top?

The Croatian women's basketball team secured their third win in Group F of the European Championship qualifiers, convincingly defeating Greece 98-73 (23-22, 26-16, 27-20, 22-15) in Šibenik. The first quarter at the Baldekin in Šibenik was a closely contested affair, with the Croatian women holding a slim 23-22 lead after ten minutes. In the second quarter, Croatia managed to pull away, taking a commanding 43-28 lead. At halftime, Croatia led 49-38.

During the third quarter, the Greeks briefly threatened to erase the large deficit, but Croatia quickly pulled away to a 20-point lead and comfortably closed out the game. The game was also attended by Croatian national team player and native of Šibenik, Dario Šarić, as well as former national team player Antonija Sandrić, formerly Mišura.

Ivana Dojkić had an excellent game for Croatia, scoring 27 points, adding five rebounds and five assists. Olivia Vukoša added 17 points and six rebounds, while Mihaela Lazić scored 15 points with eight assists. For Greece, Mariella Fasoula led the way with 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Robyn Parks added 20 points. Nika Mühl injured her right knee after just five minutes of play; the severity of the injury for the Croatian player, who had only just recovered from a serious left knee ligament injury, is not yet known.

The Croatian basketball team will play two more away games to conclude the qualifiers: against Denmark in Gentofte on March 14 and against North Macedonia in Skopje on March 17. In the other Group F match of the round, host Denmark defeated North Macedonia 125-57. Croatia leads the standings with a 3-1 record. Greece and Denmark are tied with 2-2, while North Macedonia has a 1-3 recorhttps://www.24sata.hr/sport/fantasticne-hrvatice-razbile-su-grkinje-u-kvalifikacijama-za-ep-1113990#google_vignetted.
 
Watching Croatia battle against a good Denmark team who’s playing before their home crowd in Gentofte. Obviously no Nika on the court. Unfortunately, I don’t see her on the bench either. Just hoping for the best.

In her 8 minutes of action, Vukosa's offensive rawness and the defensive footwork problem you mentioned are evident. Probably why her minutes were down. Croatia is also without their best player against Greece the other day. Dojkic had 27 pts.

Yes, and Denmark runs a “well connected” defense that is not sagging off Olivia at the arc. Obviously, they scouted the game against Greece. Beyond that, without Nika, Croatia struggled to run their offense today.

I saw on her social media today where she thanks everyone for their messages and love, and says that she will update everyone soon.

Next pic, appears to be in a physical therapy establishment with her legs elevated on a large workout ball, with the message "Find me here until then". Right knee was not wrapped.

So, what can we glean from this? She is obviously engaging in some (extensive?) physical therapy with her legs elevated. The hopeful take on that is whatever she has may not require surgery. But I guess we will know more soon enough.
