Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 5310741, member: 13141"] Just refreshing my memory on Nika since her UConn days (No comments needed, thanks. Getting worse every day! ;) ) - The Storm drafted Nika as the 14th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. with Nika signing a four year rookie contract that runs through 2027. - She became an immediate Storm fan favorite in her rookie season she saw limited floor time played usually at the end of games in garbage minutes. - She joined Besiktas J.K. in Turkey's KBSL league after the 2024 WNBA season ended but In October 2024 she tore her ACL - The Storm put Nika on the suspended list in April 2025 because she wouldn't be able to recover from her torn ACL before the start of the 2025 season. - In effect, her injury paused her contract and she is eligible to resume her contract with the Storm in 2026 following her playing with Sopron Basket. - Being under contract means she remains a team asset and according to WNBA rules can be traded. Whether the Storm would proceed to entertain trade talks depends it would seem on just how well Nika fits into the Storm team makeup next season, how well she has recovered from her ACL injury and how she performs while playing in the Euroleague. Please feel free those with better memories to correct any misstatements - or misremembered ! - statements. [/QUOTE]
