Malik Monk (MCL Sprain) Out 4-6 Weeks

According to the Sacramento Kings, they will be without their sixth man for the next month to six weeks due to a sprained right MCL.

Malik Monk suffered the knee injury in the first quarter of Friday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He needed assistance, and it didn’t look good with him heading into the locker room.

Due to the Play-In beginning in about two weeks and the first round starting in three weeks, Monk will have to make an appearance in the second round.

Sacramento is seventh in the West, which would put them in the tournament. They are already without Kevin Huerter; now add their veteran guard.

Malik Monk (Ankle) Out At Least Two Weeks

According to the Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk has suffered a sprained ankle and will be out for at least the next two weeks.

There is good news in all of this, as there was no structure damage, per the X-rays. Plus, it’s only a moderate, not a severe, ankle sprain.

With this new injury, Monk will miss Sacramento’s upcoming seven games. This is assuming he’s only out for two weeks.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns. Monk stepped on the foot of Mason Plumlee, which saw him noticeably limping and head straight to the locker room. He did not return in their overtime win against Phoenix.

In ten games this season, Monk is averaging 12.6 points off 44.2% from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 25.0 minutes.
