Impact Monk was unable to participate in Saturday's practice as he recovers from the procedure, leaving his availability up in the air for Sunday. If he were to sit out, Terence Davis would be in line to see an expanded workload against Detroit.

Goes off for 26 points Thursday Monk finished with 26 points (11-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Thursday's 130-112 victory over the Spurs.
Impact Monk nearly matched De'Aaron Fox (28 points) for team-high scoring honors despite coming off the bench and playing four fewer minutes. Monk got to his season-high point total on the strength of an efficient shooting performance that included a 4-for-9 mark from three-point range. He's been somewhat inconsistent this season but has now scored double-digit points in seven of his past eight contests.

Available Wednesday Monk (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Deemed questionable Wednesday Monk is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to right groin soreness.
Impact Monk likely picked up the injury sometime during his season-best 24-point performance against the Warriors on Monday. If the guard is unable to give it a go Wednesday, Terence Davis will presumably see an uptick in minutes versus the Cavs.

Impressive off bench Monday Monk provided 24 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Monk can get hot on any given game, and while his efforts were not enough to lift the Kings to a victory against the reigning champions, at least it'll go down as his best scoring output of the season. It's hard to trust Monk in standard formats due to his bench role, but he seems to be trending in the right direction and has now scored at least 15 points in each of his last three contests.

Scores 19 off bench Monk finished with 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to Miami.
Impact Monk bounced back with a solid effort off the bench on Wednesday night after going just 2-of-9 from the field in his previous contest. The Kings shooting guard recorded seven first-half points on 3-of-6 shooting, but it was in the third quarter when he really made his presence felt, either scoring or assisting for field goals on four consecutive possessions after entering the game for Kevin Huerter. Monk has now scored in double figures in three of his last five games.

Blossoms in win Monk produced 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to Golden State.
Impact Monk boomed after two cold games to begin the season. Although he benefitted from Davion Mitchell picking up three fouls in his first four minutes of action, Monk's production was excellent. It could prove wise to bear with Monk as he adjusts to a new offense. He'll always be a streaky scorer, but he demonstrated more consistency last season in Los Angeles.

Signs with Kings in free agency Monk and the Kings agreed to terms on a two-year, $19 million contract Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Monk was one of a flurry of transactions to break just as free agency began Thursday night, and he'll cash in after playing last season on a prove-it deal with the Lakers. The 2017 lottery pick fared well in L.A., averaging a career-high 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.1 minutes per game. He'll enter a less-chaotic environment in Sacramento, where he'll primarily compete with 2021 first-rounder Davion Mitchell for minutes at both guard spots.
