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.

Malik Monk once again proved why the Kings trading him would be a horrible idea The Sacramento Kings' attempts to trade Malik Monk make less and less sense as the NBA season progresses.

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.
