The Chicago Sky returned to game action against the Minnesota Lynx.

After WNBA All-Star weekend, Angel Reese was back in the lineup. She missed time prior to the break due to a leg injury, which head coach Tyler Marsh deemed "precautionary" matters.

During her return to the lineup, now having started in 22 of 22 games that she's been active for the Sky in her second season, Reese picked up a technical foul.

Reese earned her seventh technical foul of the season, which may lead to a fine from the WNBA. The Chicago Sky star is now one technical foul away from being automatically assessed a one-game suspension from the WNBA.

According to the league rules, any player who has received eight technical fouls on the season should receive a suspension from the WNBA.

CORRECTION: The WNBA has increased the technical foul suspension threshold from seven to eight.

Angel Reese will NOT be suspended after receiving her seventh technical foul.
