Whalen committed only two of the 24 turnovers that ruined the Lynx’s opener, a 77-76 last-second loss to Los Angeles. In an uncharacteristically ugly team effort, Whalen provided reassurance that at the age of 36 and in the midst of establishing her program at the University of Minnesota, she looks neither distracted nor weary.

Even though she must be.

“Seriously, it was one of the craziest weeks of my life,” Whalen said. “But it was fun!”

She woke at 7 a.m. each morning and found herself, for the first time in her basketball life, constantly checking her phone at night for possible developments and responsibilities. Playing for the Lynx has become the simplest part of her life.

“Now,” she said, “I’m always on.”
