Monk suffered a calf injury in April, resulting in him missing the last four regular-season games of the 2024-25 campaign. He'll make his return to the floor during Wednesday's preseason game, which is a great sign for his squad. He played in 65 regular-season games last season, averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, which were career-high numbers in all three categories, while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three-point range.

Sacramento will have to lean on Keon Ellis, Devin Carter and Markelle Fultz in the backcourt.

EDGE Analysis

Monk appeared to suffer the calf injury at some point during the first quarter and was quickly ruled out by the medical staff. The extent of the injury is unknown at this time.

Monk notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 125-102 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Monk has been struggling with his shot of late, and the Kings need him to be at his best, given that he's a key piece on offense with his scoring prowess off the bench. This was a step in the right direction, and it turned out to be Monk's best scoring performance since March 20, just before he missed three contests due to an illness. Since returning to the court on March 27, Monk has averaged 12.0 points per game, shooting 40.4 percent from the floor and 34.6 percent from three-point range over his last five contests.
