One of Minnesota’s own has received the call and earned the highest honor in basketball.
Lindsay Whalen, a Hutchinson, Minnesota native and four-time WNBA champion with the Minnesota Lynx, will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2022, according to The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski.
The current head coach of the University of Minnesota women’s basketball team retired from the WNBA following the 2018 season as one of the greatest players to ever step foot on a WNBA court. Her legacy in the W was honored this past summer, when she was named to the W25 list, honoring the greatest 25 players in the league history, along with four other Lynx.
