Malik Monk News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Iffy for Friday Monk (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Won't play Wednesday Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Monk was deemed questionable for the contest due to left ankle soreness, and he'll wind up taking a seat. With Zach LaVine (thigh) sidelined, Russell Westbrook and Keon Ellis could see more action. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Timberwolves.

Iffy for Wednesday Monk is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks with left ankle soreness.

Impact The Kings have submitted a lengthy injury report for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Zach LaVine (thigh) has already been ruled out, and Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is questionable. If Monk isn't able to give it a go, Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder may have to shoulder significant workloads. Devin Carter could be more involved as well.

Early-season woes continue Monk accumulated 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Monk has struggled to find any sort of rhythm thus far, scoring more than 15 points on just two occasions through his first nine games. Sacramento has won only three games, with head coach Doug Christie seemingly lost for answers. Monk's upside is just enough for him to be considered a hold in standard leagues. However, should things continue to go south, he could end up being expendable at some point in the near future.

Not listed on injury report Monk (personal) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact It looks like Monk will be back in action Wednesday night following a two-game stint on the sidelines, and if Zach LaVine (back) can't give it a go, Monk could see more shots falling his way. Through the first five games of the season, Monk has been a top-60 player with averages of 15.6 points, 2.4 assists, 2.6 triples, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest.

Impact Monk will miss his second consecutive game due to personal reasons. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Warriors. With the 27-year-old guard sidelined, Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford are candidates for an uptick in minutes, especially if Dennis Schroder (hip) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Won't play Saturday Monk (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Monk will miss a game for the first time this season due to a personal issue. The team will likely lean on Russell Westbrook, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter in Monk's absence.

Notches nine points Monk finished Tuesday's 107-101 loss to the Thunder with nine points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact Monk and Keon Ellis both saw heavy workloads off the bench for the Kings, and that's likely to remain the case going forward. Although Tuesday's performance was a bit underwhelming, Monk is currently leading the Kings in nine-category fantasy value with averages of 15.8 points, 2.8 assists, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers on 51.2 percent shooting from the field through four regular-season contests.

Hits for 20 points off bench Monk finished with 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.

Impact It's too soon to tell, but Monk may developing into the true sixth man for the Kings. Monk is deserving of a starting role on paper, but the frontcourt is the only place where there is an opening, and he's not a fit there. That spot will eventually be filled by Keegan Murray, which will solidify a starting five that Monk won't be a part of. Despite the apparent demotion, he's off to a great start and still has some fantasy value.

Logs 19 points off the bench Monk ended Wednesday's 120-116 loss to Phoenix with 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 27 minutes.

Impact Monk's fantasy prospects became cloudy after the Kings acquired Dennis Schroder, and became even murkier with the recent addition of Russell Westbrook. Despite the competition, Monk found success with the second unit Wednesday. The team's confidence in Monk is not surprising after he logged a career-high campaign last season, and his results in the opener increase his probability of fantasy success as the season moves forward.
