Lindsay Whalen to be honored after Lynx home game Sunday
The Lynx play their final regular-season home game on Sunday against the Mystics. After the game, on the court, there will be a special celebration for Lindsay Whalen.

We don't know how long the Lynx season will last with the playoffs set to begin next week. We do know that Sunday is the final regular-season game -- and the last time fans are guaranteed to see Lindsay Whalen playing in a Lynx uniform.
The Lynx play host to the Washington Mystics at Target Center on Sunday at 6 p.m. Whalen, who on Monday announced her decision to retire at season's end after 15 seasons in the WNBA, will be honored during an on-court, postgame celebration.
In anticipation of a large crowd to see the Hutchinson native and former Gophers standout, the Lynx have made additional upper-level seats available at the Target Center.
Sunday is also Fan Appreciation Night presented by the Star Tribune. The first 2,500 ticket holders to enter the doors will receive a team poster. All fans will receive a commemorative Lindsay Whalen card.
Whalen was named the Minnesota Gophers' head women's basketball coach and will transition to that role full-time after the Lynx's season concludes.
Don’t be surprised if you spot the WNBA standout jamming at Twin Cities concerts.
