Malik Monk News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings | FOX Sports

Fills box score Wednesday Monk posted 22 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact With Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Zach LaVine (personal) sidelined, Monk stepped up with a team-high eight assists to go with a full stat line. Monk should continue handling extra usage in the interim, as Sabonis is set to miss at least another week. Over his last seven outings, Monk has averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.8 minutes.

Leads Kings with 28 points Monk closed with 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 132-122 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Monk led the Kings in scoring, putting up his fourth game of the campaign with at least 28 points. Domantas Sabonis sustained an apparent right ankle during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies and wasn't able to return, so there could be more usage heading Monk's way. In 56 regular-season appearances, Monk is on pace for a seventh-round finish in nine-category formats with 17.7 points, 5.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.2 three-pointers.

Tough night from long range Monk closed with 18 points (8-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 122-106 loss to Phoenix.

Impact The 27-year-old guard continues to have trouble finding his shooting form, and Monk has gone 0-for-13 from three-point range over the last two contests while scoring just 25 total points. It's not clear if the toe sprain that cost him three games earlier in March is still hampering him, but it's the most likely culprit. Monk will probably keep playing through the issue as the Kings fight to hang onto a spot in the Play-In Tournament, but the team has lost four straight and Domantas Sabonis' return from a hamstring strain Friday lasted only 30 minutes before he aggravated the injury. If the club's slide continues, Monk might get some time to rest and let his toe fully heal up.

Removed from injury report Monk has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Monk is coming off a 21-point performance in Monday's loss to the Knicks and now will be good to go to play Thursday in San Francisco. The veteran guard is averaging career-high numbers in points (17.7), rebounds (3.8), assists (5.8) and steals (1.0), shooting 44 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Doesn't return Monday Monk didn't return during Monday's 133-104 loss to the Knicks. He finished the game with 21 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists and one rebound across 30 minutes.

Impact Monk made his return from a three-game absence due to a right toe sprain Monday, though he exited the game in the third quarter and didn't return. When asked about his reason for going back to the locker room, Monk said in the post-game presser that his toe "just felt weird," and that he wanted to get it checked out. The Kings were already facing a heavy deficit when the 27-year-old combo guard left the game, and his comments bode well for his status ahead of Thursday's game against Golden State.

Heads to locker room vs. NY Monk (undisclosed) exited to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact It's unclear why Monk left for the locker room late in the third quarter, though he can be considered questionable to return until the club provides an update. If the 27-year-old combo guard is unable to come back in the final quarter, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Available to play Monk (toe) is available to play Monday against the Knicks.

Impact Monk is set to return from a three-game absence, but it's unclear if he'll face any restrictions. With Monk back in the lineup, both Keon Ellis and DeMar DeRozan could see a dip in usage rate.

Not playing Sunday Monk (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Monk is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right toe sprain, but the good news is that he has been cleared to return to on-court activities. It doesn't appear likely that he'll play Monday against the Knicks, but he could make his return against the Warriors on Thursday. Monk has averaged 16.5 points, 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Impact Monk is set to miss his second consecutive contest due to a right toe sprain, and his absence from shootaround bodes poorly for his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers. The combo guard can still be considered day-to-day moving forward. Over his last five outings since the All-Star break, Monk has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 30.6 minutes per contest.
