Ejected from Sunday's game Monk was ejected from Sunday's game against the Pistons in the fourth quarter after being assessed his second technical foul, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Monk shoved Killian Hayes following a layup in the fourth quarter and was tossed from the matchup since he was issued his second technical foul. Prior to his departure, he posted eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two steals and a rebound in 19 minutes. It seems unlikely that his ejection will lead to a suspension, so he'll likely be available Tuesday in Memphis.

Not included in injury report Holmes (illness) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Holmes missed Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID-related illness, but he was spotted in practice Saturday and looks to be back to full health. Even though he'll suit up Sunday, Holmes may find himself outside of the rotation, as Chimezie Metu had supplanted him as the Kings' backup center before Holmes sat out Thursday.

Nets 10 in win Metu recorded 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 130-112 victory over the Spurs.
Impact Metu matched his season-high point total by going a perfect 4-for-4 from the field, which included making his lone three-point try. The fifth-year pro's effectiveness was emphasized by his plus-19 mark over just 14 minutes on the court, and he added three boards and a steal while turning the ball over only once. Metu has been getting minutes in the low-to-mid teens but hasn't done much with them, averaging 5.6 points, 3.0 boards and 1.0 assists per game.

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.
