Won't play Friday Monk has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Hornets with left groin soreness, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Inefficient in spot start Monk contributed 11 points (3-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 105-87 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Monk moved back into the starting lineup after Lebron James was ruled out due to a knee injury. Despite shooting just 3-of-13 from the floor, it wasn't all doom and gloom for Monk. The playing time was encouraging, and the fact he attempted the third-most shots on the team bodes well for his short-term future. Until we get word that James is returning to the lineup, Monk should be held in all standard formats.

Enters starting five Monk will start Thursday's game against the 76ers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Impact The 23-year-old will make his 12th start of the season Thursday with LeBron James (knee) not suiting up in Philadelphia. Monk has averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 49.6 percent from the field across those contests.

Los Angeles visits Philadelphia following Embiid's 42-point game

Philadelphia plays the Los Angeles Lakers after Joel Embiid scored 42 points in the Philadelphia 76ers' 117-107 win against the New Orleans Pelicans

Drills six triples in win Tuesday Monk chipped in 22 points (7-13 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 win over Brooklyn.

Impact Monk found his rhythm in the victory, helping power the Lakers to a much-needed victory. After a hot stretch of games, Monk has cooled of late but this is certainly a step in the right direction for anyone invested in him. His role appears to be off the bench, something that needs to be considered when evaluating his projected value. As of right now, he remains a 12-team asset, albeit one who offers value in points and triples only.
