Mark Jackson and others deemed finalists for Kings’ HC job

Steve Clifford, Mike Brown, and Mark Jackson are all finalists for the Kings’ head coaching job. Sacramento is looking to end their 16-years without making an appearance in the postseason, they want to achieve that with a good head coach. They haven’t had one yet to take them to the postseason since Rick Adelman in the 2006 NBA Playoffs.

All three finalists have had head coaching experience. Jackson is a current analysis for ESPN, while Clifford is a consultant for the Brooklyn Nets and Brown being an assistant coach for the Warriors.

The Kings are not only hoping to make the postseason, but just to secure 40 wins in a season. Believe it or not, Sacramento has not won 40 games since the 2005-06 season. They are in rebuild mode that is effecting the front office, coaching staff, and the players.

CourtSideHeat will continue to break the news as given.

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.
