Lynx star Lindsay Whalen will sit in as a guest analyst for Wednesday night's Timberwolves home game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fox Sports North announced early Wednesday that Whalen would join Dave Benz and Jim Petersen for the call. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. with Wolves Live.

This could be the gateway to Whalen's future as a basketball analyst.

"It's a cool idea they came to me with and I'm just really excited about it," Whalen said. "But at the same time, I will be learning from my experience tonight and seeing how it goes and keeping it in mind for the future, for sure."

She tweeted that the intelligence and insight she's gained from watching hours of Wolves basketball in her basement will "finally be unleashed on FSN!!"
