MALIK MONK NEWS

Will stay with Sacramento Monk (knee) intends to sign a four-year, $78 million deal with the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Monk continues to recover from a knee injury, but that hasn't stopped him from reaching an agreement with the Kings. The sharpshooter averaged career-high marks in points (15.4) and assists (5.1) per game en route to finishing second in the 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year award voting. Even though Monk was expected to be a sought-after player in the open market, instead, he chose to sign with the Kings and will make the deal official once the league year begins July 1.

Suffers sprained MCL Monk has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Impact This is a brutal blow for the Kings and it rules Monk out for the remainder of the regular season. Depending on how quickly he recovers, Monk could potentially make his return during Sacramento's postseason run. In the meantime, guys like Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell could be asked to soak up more minutes in the backcourt. Monk will finish the regular season with averages of 15.4 points, 5.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers.

Serious knee injury suspected Monk is feared to have suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during Friday's 107-103 to the Mavericks and will undergo further testing, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Monk suffered his knee injury after colliding with Luka Doncic early in the first quarter of Friday's contest, causing him to leave after just one minute of action. While fantasy managers should look out for an official update from Sacramento, losing the likely Sixth Man of the Year would be a big blow for the Kings' playoff hopes.

Impact Monk collided with Luka Doncic early in the first quarter and his right knee buckled awkwardly.

Impact The 26-year-old guard struggled to find his shot from the outside but still reached 20 points for the sixth time in 11 March contests. Monk is averaging 20.9 points, 5.4 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.2 threes on the month as he continues to build a strong case for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award.

Impact Monk might have ended with a solid stat line across the board, but the sharpshooter had a rough outing from deep, making just one of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. There's a strong chance this was nothing more than an off night for Monk, as he's averaging 21.0 points per game while coming off the bench since the beginning of March.
