Malik Monk

Malik Monk is expected to miss at least the next two weeks.

Fantasy Impact

Monk suffered a calf strain on Monday. The Kings would likely have to advance out of the Play-In Tournament and potentially into round two of the playoffs for Monk to play again this season.

Malik Monk has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

Monk will sit due to left calf soreness. Keegan Murray could see some more opportunity if he is cleared.

Malik Monk tallied 17 points (7-of-12 FG), one rebound, three assists, and three three-pointers in 23 minutes during Friday’s game against Charlotte, snapping a two-game skid where he managed just 14 points on 6-of-23 shooting.

Fantasy Impact

Monk shook off his slump against a leaky Hornets defense, hitting over 50% from the field for his best scoring night since March 20, pre-illness—his multi-category spark returns as the Kings gear up for Sunday’s Week 22 finale in Cleveland. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can count on this bounce-back form heading into that matchup.

Malik Monk ended up with 13 points in Wednesday's 116-111 loss against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Monk managed to hit just 4-of-13 from the field, while he went 2-of-9 from behind the 3-point line. He also contributed three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes, seeing plenty of run off the bench. He'll look to keep it going Friday in Indiana.

Malik Monk is available for Thursday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

Monk is set to return after missing the Sacramento Kings' last three games due to illness. He can be safely plugged back into fantasy lineups, especially given his strong March averages of 19.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
