Kings' Malik Monk: Tough night from long range
Monk closed with 18 points (8-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 122-106 loss to Phoenix.
The 27-year-old guard continues to have trouble finding his shooting form, and Monk has gone 0-for-13 from three-point range over the last two contests while scoring just 25 total points. It's not clear if the toe sprain that cost him three games earlier in March is still hampering him, but it's the most likely culprit. Monk will probably keep playing through the issue as the Kings fight to hang onto a spot in the Play-In Tournament, but the team has lost four straight and Domantas Sabonis' return from a hamstring strain Friday lasted only 30 minutes before he aggravated the injury. If the club's slide continues, Monk might get some time to rest and let his toe fully heal up.

Kings' Malik Monk: Removed from injury report
Monk has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Monk is coming off a 21-point performance in Monday's loss to the Knicks and now will be good to go to play Thursday in San Francisco. The veteran guard is averaging career-high numbers in points (17.7), rebounds (3.8), assists (5.8) and steals (1.0) while shooting 44 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Kings' Malik Monk: Doesn't return Monday
Monk didn't return during Monday's 133-104 loss to the Knicks. He finished the game with 21 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists and one rebound across 30 minutes.
Monk made his return from a three-game absence streak due to a right toe sprain Monday, though he exited the game in the third quarter and didn't return. When asked about his reason for going back to the locker room in the post-game presser, Monk said that his toe "just felt weird," though he added that he feels good and just wanted to get the toe checked out. The Kings were already facing a heavy deficit when the 27-year-old combo guard left the game, and his early exit could have been a precautionary measure ahead of Thursday's game against Golden State.

Kings' Malik Monk: Heads to locker room vs. NY
Monk (undisclosed) exited to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
It's unclear why Monk left for the locker room late in the third quarter, though he can be considered questionable to return until the club provides an update. If the 27-year-old combo guard is unable to come back in the final quarter, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Kings' Malik Monk: Not playing Sunday
Monk (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Monk is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right toe sprain, but the good news is that he has been cleared to return to on-court activities. It doesn't appear likely that he'll play Monday against the Knicks, but he could make his return against the Warriors on Thursday. Since the beginning of January, Monk has averaged 16.5 points, 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game.

Kings' Malik Monk: Out Friday
Monk (toe), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, did not participate in the club's morning shootaround, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Monk is set to miss his second consecutive contest due to a right toe sprain, and his absence from shootaround bodes poorly for his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers. The point guard can still be considered day-to-day moving forward. Over his last five outings since the All-Star break, Monk has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 30.6 minutes per contest.

Monk amassed 13 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-88 victory over Charlotte.
Monk racked up his fourth double-double of the season in the win as the Kings ran the Hornets out of the building. With the Kings looking to make a push for the playoffs, Monk's value should be locked in as the starting point guard. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 17.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Monk provided a nice spark to Sacramento offensively in Thursday's high-scoring overtime contest, finishing second among Kings players in scoring, threes made and assists in a strong showcase. Monk has connected on four or more threes in nine contests, surpassing the 20-point mark in 20 outings and in two of his last five appearances.

Kings' Malik Monk: Notches 17 points in win
Monk had 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block across 43 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Monk continues to play heavy minutes for the Kings in his new role as the starting point guard. His production in February has been solid with 17.7 points, 5.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over his last six games, but he could hit another gear once his shot starts falling -- he shot 41.7 percent from the field and 24.2 percent from beyond the arc in that stretch.

Kings' Malik Monk: Pops for 21 against Blazers
Monk closed with 21 points (8-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The 27-year-old guard has been the bigger winner so far in the wake of the trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs and brought Zach LaVine to the Kings. Over three games since Fox's departure, Monk has handled the starting point guard role and averaged 35.3 minutes a contest while producing 19.0 points, 5.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Kings' Malik Monk: Big night as new point guard
Monk racked up 26 points (10-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over Minnesota.
Getting the start at point guard following the trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs, Monk looked very comfortable as he scored 20-plus points for the 11th time in his last 15 appearances. Over that stretch, the 27-year-old is averaging 22.5 points, 7.6 assists, 3.9 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.4 steals. With Zach LaVine expected to slot in at shooting guard, Monk figures to retain his new assignment and elevated distribution numbers. He was already on track for a career-best campaign, but Monk may not have reached his fantasy ceiling yet.
