WNBA first-rounder Nika Muhl stretchered off court after freak injury in overseas game

Seattle Storm first-round pick Nika Muhl was seen stretchered off the court on Thursday after suffering an apparent knee injury while playing in the FIBA SuperCup Women title game.

Muhl, who was playing for Besiktas J.K. against Fenerbahçe SK in Turkey, was coming down with a rebound when her left leg buckled on the court. She grabbed her knee in immediate pain while everyone on the court looked concerned.

The injury, which came three minutes into the third quarter, saw trainers quickly go out to help Muhl. However, the crowd and broadcast heard just how painful the injury was.

"Oh my God," Muhl was heard saying. "Don't touch it!"

Muhl was stretchered off the court but would be seen on her team's bench after the game. She did not return to play, and her left knee was wrapped in a bandage.

Muhl finished the game with 11 points, three rebounds, nine assists and two steals for Besiktas. 

As both teams shook hands after the game, players from Fenerbahçe walked over to Muhl to offer their support. 

That included Gabby Williams, who played with Muhl on the Storm this season. Muhl was seen with tears in her eyes after an embrace with Williams.

It was determined that Muhl tore her ACL, which prematurely ends her first season overseas. Besitkas J.K. announced Muhl was joining the team for its 2024-2025 season in the KBSL.

Muhl played limited minutes for Seattle this year as she acknowledged needing to earn her role on the team over more experienced WNBA players. She averaged 3.6 minutes per game.

'The View' co-host Joy Behar accuses Melania Trump of lying about her abortion stance: 'It's a big scam'

"The View" co-host Joy Behar said Thursday that former first lady Melania Trump was lying about her abortion stance, which she revealed in her memoir, and said it was a "scam" to appease voters. 

"Sixty-two percent of Americans oppose overthrowing Roe v. Wade, 62%, the Republican Party knows this. I think they put her up to this. I think it’s a big scam. They put her out there, you know, as the face of, like, the American population that wants to have abortion rights," Behar claimed.

Melania reveals in her new memoir that she is pro-choice, according to reports. The former first lady doubled down on what she wrote in a video posted to social media on Thursday and said, "Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth. Individual freedom. What does my body my choice really mean?"

"I think that this is just a big lie," Behar said. "I don't buy it."

MELANIA TRUMP TO RELEASE FIRST MEMOIR, WILL REVEAL STORIES AND PHOTOS 'NEVER BEFORE SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC'

The other co-hosts also had their theories about the former first lady's stance, given that former President Trump expressed support for the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed that it was a "strategic" move.

"I think she hates him. Okay, so we can all agree that. That’s a given. I also think that she wants to take him out. She does not want to be the first lady anymore. She doesn’t want to be the first lady. She destroyed the Rose Garden. Who hates Christmas? Melania Trump hates Christmas. She doesn’t want to decorate for Christmas. She doesn’t want anything to do with him. She doesn’t want to sleep in the same room with him. She can’t tolerate him," Hostin suggested.

The audience applauded Hostin after she claimed that Melania wanted to take out her husband.

Whoopi Goldberg chimed in to say "allegedly" following Hostin's statements.

"I really think that this is her way of undercutting his bid for the presidency because then she doesn’t have to deal with him anymore," the host added. "I think that she wants to take him out and she’s doing a pretty damn good job with that."

The former first lady wrote in her memoir that a woman's fundamental right of "individual liberty" grants her the right to have an abortion if she wishes.

"It is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children, based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government," Melania wrote, according to reports.

"Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life," she continued. 

The office of Melania Trump did not respond to a request for comment.
