Four-time WNBA champ, Lynx PG Lindsay Whalen, is retiring

Minnesota Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen, a four-time WNBA champion, announced Monday she will retire at season's end after 15 years in the league.

"I would like to thank the WNBA, the Connecticut Sun, and the Minnesota Lynx for believing in me all of these years," Whalen said in a statement, referencing the two franchises she played for. "I look forward to the next chapter in my basketball career and wish my Lynx coaches and teammates all of the best in the future."

Whalen, 36, already has her next job: She was named women's basketball coach at her alma mater, Minnesota, in April.
