Nikolina Milić (Serbian Cyrillic: Николина Милић; born April 12, 1994) is a Serbian professional basketball center who is currently a free agent, and most recently played for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and Fenerbahçe of the Women's Basketball Super League, EuroLeague Women.
She represented Serbian national basketball team at the FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2019 in Serbia and Latvia, where they won the bronze medal.[2]
Milić signed with the Minnesota Lynx on May 6, 2022, to a hardship contract. [3] Milić played in 17 games for the Lynx including 3 starts. She scored a career-high in points against the Indiana Fever with 23 points, including 13 in the third quarter alone, on 11 for 19 shooting, along with six rebounds, and three assists.[4] Head Coach Cheryl Reeve stated that she had been looking at Milić to come over after coaching against her during Olympic play and that she really started to figure things out as she got more time on the court during her rookie season.[5] On June 23, 2022, Milić was released from her hardship contract as Sylvia Fowles was cleared to comeback to play.[6] Milić signed a 7-Day Contract to return to the Lynx on June 26, 2022.[7] On August 10, 2022, Milić was released from her Hardship Contract when Aerial Powers became healthy again.[8]
On April 14, 2024, Milić was traded to the Chicago Sky alongside the 2024 7th overall pick, in exchange for Sika Koné, the 8th overall pick in 2024, a 2025 2nd round pick, and the rights to swap a 2026 1st round pick.[9]
