The second half of the WNBA season has commenced following All-Star weekend.

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky were back on the court on Tuesday, set to face the Minnesota Lynx. Minnesota came into the game as the No. 1 team in the WNBA with a 20-4 record.

The Sky are looking to make a big second-half push, having finished the first half of the season with a 7-15 record, ranked as the No. 11 team in the WNBA.

As Chicago gears up for a postseason push, head coach Tyler Marsh made lineup changes.

Marsh and the rest of the Sky's coaching staff decided to start Angel Reese, thrusting her back into the starting lineup after the WNBA All-Star missed the team's most previous game for "precautionary reasons" with a leg injury.
