| Monk (knee) intends to sign a four-year, $78 million deal with the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Scoop:Monk continues to recover from a knee injury, but that hasn't stopped him from reaching an agreement with the Kings. The sharpshooter averaged career-high marks in points (15.4) and assists (5.1) per game en route to finishing second in the 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year award voting. Even though Monk was expected to be a sought-after player in the open market, instead, he chose to sign with the Kings and is expected to make the deal official once the league year begins July 1.

| Yet to begin running Monk (knee) has not re-commenced running amid his ongoing recovery from an MCL sprain, and he "doesn't know if a first-round return is a realistic goal," per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. The Scoop: Sacramento must defeat Golden State on Tuesday to unlock a first-round opportunity, but Monk appears to be multiple recovery steps away from returning to game action. Behind superstar De'Aaron Fox, Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell have absorbed work in a shorthanded backcourt. Apr 16 6:49 ET |
| Suffers sprained MCL Monk has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Scoop: Monk will miss the rest of the regular season, but depending on how quickly he recovers, he could be available at some point in the postseason if Sacramento is able to advance out of the Play-In Tournament. In the meantime, Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell could be asked to soak up more minutes in the backcourt. Monk will finish the regular season with averages of 15.4 points, 5.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per game over 72 appearances. Mar 30 10:19 ET |
| Set to miss time with sprained knee Monk is feared to have suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during Friday's 107-103 to the Mavericks, but he'll undergo further testing before the Kings provided an updated diagnosis of his injury Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Scoop: Monk suffered his knee injury early in the first quarter of the contest after colliding with Luka Doncic. While fantasy managers should look out for an official update from Sacramento, losing the likely Sixth Man of the Year would be a big blow for the Kings' playoff hopes. Monk is averaging 15.4 points, 5.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.0 minutes per game through his 72 appearances. Mar 30 2:27 ET |
| Leaves early with knee injury Monk won't return to Friday's game versus Dallas with a right knee injury. He finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and one rebound in one minute. The Scoop: Monk collided with Luka Doncic early in the first quarter and his right knee buckled awkwardly. Though Monk was able to walk off the court under his own power, the Kings ruled him out for the remainder of the game fairly quickly after he checked out of the contest. Until more is known, Monk should be considered questionable for Sunday against the Jazz. Mar 30 2:43 ET |
