Monk was able to walk off the court under his own power, but the Kings ruled him out for the remainder of the game pretty quickly. Until more is known, Monk should be considered questionable for Sunday against the Jazz.

Kevin Huerter - To undergo season-ending surgery Huerter will undergo season-ending left shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum but is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN r...
Impact Huerter dislocated his left shoulder in mid-March and has been sidelined since. The Kings were hesitant to rule the sharpshooter out for the entire season, but it seems both parties agreed that getting the surgery now was the right move. Huerter's production was sporadic in 2023-24, and overall, he saw dips in every major category compared to his first season in Sacramento. He'll finish with averages of 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 24.4 minutes per game over 64 appearances. Huerter has two years remaining on his current contract.

Sasha Vezenkov - Fully participates in practice Vezenkov (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, fully participated in the Kings' morning practice session, Jake Gadon of CBS Sacramento reports.
Impact Vezenkov hasn't suited up since early February but has been ramping up in recent days. His full participation in practice is encouraging, but the Kings will likely wait to see how he feels afterward before determining his status. If he's cleared to play, Vezenkov could face a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.

De'Aaron Fox - Tepid in blowout loss Fox amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Fox struggled with his shot against the Mavericks, who had the right defensive formula to contain the Kings' offensive attack. During the first half, Luke Doncic floated to where he was most needed and pestered Fox during the first two quarters. Fox was also ineffective in the fourth quarter without Doncic's involvement as he failed to score over six minutes in the final stanza.

Domantas Sabonis - Sniffs triple-double during blowout Sabonis chipped in 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Despite the Kings' poor showing, Sabonis managed his 55th consecutive double-double, breaking another record by matching Jerry Lucas for the longest double-double streak in the history of the franchise. Dallas was well aware of Sabonis' potential and crowded him in the paint often, which resulted in a lower shot volume for the underrated big man. Despite popular opinion, Sabonis' season merits MVP consideration, as the Kings would likely be out of the playoff hunt without him.
