According to the Lynx PR staff, Lindsay Whalen – who got poked in the eye late in the second quarter of Sunday’s victory in Tulsa and did not return – was doing much better today and was able to fly back to the Twin Cities with the team.
Whalen went to a doctor in Tulsa immediately after the injury basically to make sure her eye would be OK to take a flight. She was, clearly, given the OK.
Whalen, who was able to see out of the eye, was scheduled for two medical appointments today, one with a regular physician and the second with a specialist. An update would be expected either later today or Tuesday morning.Â
