On the other hand, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">new acquisition DeMar DeRozan</a> went a perfect 6 of 6 for 15 points, a good portent for things to come in the new season. However, a slight worry came up as Malik Monk left the game early for personal reasons, though Mike Brown quickly updated fans after the game.</p><p>“There’s no level of concern. He’s fine,” Brown <a href="https://x.com/VanessaRomoTV/status/1844246655673184603" rel="noopener">told the press</a>, as shared by Fox reporter Vanessa Romo on X, formerly Twitter. “He left for personal reasons. I’m sure he’ll be at practice tomorrow.”</p><h2><b>Kings work out the kinks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Mike-Brown-talking-to-Malik-Monk-in-a-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Per Mike Brown’s update, fortunately, Malik Monk doesn’t seem hurt or affected by something that would make him miss a number of games.</p><p>In ten minutes gainst the Warriors, the Kings’ candidate for Sixth Man of the Year put in 13 points on 4-7 shooting from the field and 1-2 shooting from three-point land.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Kings acquiring DeRozan in the offseason paid dividends this game, thanks to his perfect shooting. He also received a warm ovation as he took to the court for his new team, hoping to cement their position as new playoff contenders in a stacked Western Conference.</p><p>“I worked my butt off this summer, man. More than ever. And just coming into this training camp, working my butt off,” the former Chicago Bull said, <a href="https://fox40.com/sports/basketball/kings/demar-derozans-debut-15-pts-on-6-of-6-shooting-in-kings-preseason-loss/" rel="noopener">via a report</a> from Andrew Marden for Fox 40. “But I just wanted to come ready where guys could count on me to just come out and compete.”</p><p>However, it was the Warriors who stole the show, riding <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-buddy-hield-fiery-form-kings-social-media-buzz">Buddy Hield’s hot shooting</a>, to the tune of 6-7 from three-point range, finishing with 22 points. Meanwhile, Jonathan Kuminga shot 4-7, while De’Anthony Melton made four threes of his own.</p><p>With the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-completes-klay-thompson-acquisition-in-historic-6-team-trade">departure of Klay Thompson</a>, the Warriors bolstered their shooting depth to replicate his production in the aggregate. This focus on shooting reflected in their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-warriors-trade-plans-after-lauri-markkanen-failure-emerges">failures to acquire Lauri Markkanen</a> and Paul George.</p><h2><b>Two-way teams</b></h2><p>Shooting has always been the Warriors’ calling-card, but their hot offense masked their defensive versatility. In their prime, they were the perfect two-way team, with shooters who can light up the scoreboard and who can also keep the other team from scoring.</p><p>Now, though, their offseason moves haven’t really filled their defensive needs, meaning they’ll have to outshoot their opponents every single game. A cold stretch in a series against a team that knows them quite well, like the Kings, could spell the difference between playoff redemption and disappointment.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been a fan of the Lakers since the three-peat but believes LeBron James is the greatest player of all time.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Malik Monk has become one of the most exciting players off the bench in recent years thanks to his stellar performances for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. His value had plummeted on the bottom-feeding Charlotte Hornets, allowing the Lakers to sign him in 2022, where he became one of the bright spots on that forgettable season for the Purple and Gold. After that season, Malik Monk signed with the Kings and helped propel them to their first playoff appearance since 2006.</p><p>Then, he even took a paycut to stay with the Kings, which allowed them to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">land DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade</a> with the Chicago Bulls, sending Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs in return.</p><p>However, if there’s a player Monk looks forward to unlocking his game, it’s Sacramento’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2022-nba-draft-news-kings-select-keegan-murray-with-4th-pick">2022 No. 4 overall pick Keegan Murray</a>.</p><p>“It’s Keegan, the sky’s the limit for him,” the dynamic scoring guard told reporters on Tuesday, via <a href="https://aroyalpain.com/posts/malik-monk-thinks-sacramento-kings-player-unlimited-potential-01j99ddcn3d8" rel="noopener">a report</a> from Mat Issa for the site A Royal Pain. “He could be whoever he wants to be, so I don’t want to put a label on him. So I’m going to let him figure out himself.”</p><h2><b>Where will the Kings go next season?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Malik-Monk-poses-with-other-Kings-teammates-during-Media-Day.jpg"><figcaption>© Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Malik Monk knows his teammates should try reaching a higher level of play if the Kings want to advance past the first round, and part of reaching their goal is the evolution of Keegan Murray.</p><p>They had already taken the Golden State Warriors to the brink in 2023, but the Kings’ age and inexperience were no match for their opponent’s championship poise and mettle.</p><p>Luckily for the Kings, Murray’s upward trajectory hasn’t shown any signs of plateauing. Last season, the swingman <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/player/keegan-murray-10505" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 15.2 points in the regular season, along with 5.5 rebounds, on shooting splits of 45.4% from the field and 35.8% from distance.</p><p>He was a valuable piece for the Kings, who avenged their previous season’s first-round loss by taking out the Warriors in the play-in tournament. However, they failed to make the playoffs after the New Orleans Pelicans beat them in the next round.</p><p>Still, Murray upped his production during the play-in games, averaging 21.5 points and 8.0 boards, and 50.0% shooting from three-point land. Once the third-year forward reaches his peak, the Kings will be a dangerous team in the loaded Western Conference.</p><p>The problem, for now, is there is only one ball to go around, and the arrival of DeRozan might reduce Murray’s touches, especially in the playoffs. Moreover, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-deaaron-fox-feels-demar-derozan-partnership">DeRozan must share the ball with De’Aaron Fox</a>, the Kings’ best player, who averaged 26.6 points for the team last season.</p><p>Additionally, DeRozan is a ball-dominant mid-range guy who excels in the halfcourt, particularly valuable for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/10-highest-scoring-point-totals-by-an-nba-team">Kings who like to run and shoot</a> during the regular season and has significant trouble adapting to the slow grind-out offense in a seven-game series.</p><p>Keegan Murray should hope Malik Monk is right about him if he wants to have a bigger role for the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s going to make us think differently on the court, move differently, really read each other. We’re used to playing one style, but he does something at a Hall of Fame level that we’re going to have to play around. And that’s going to make it so much harder for teams to guard us because we can basically score from anywhere.”</p><p>Sabonis just hopes his teammates are as excited as he is.</p><p>“He’s a very smart player, has been in the league forever, and has done so much.

Monk is a shooting guard for the Sacramento Kings. He is a former first-round pick in the NBA and a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-malik-monks-immediately-reacts-to-massive-sixth-man-of-the-year-snub">runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year</a>. Let’s take a closer look at Malik Monk’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk’s net worth in 2024 (estimate): $3 million</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Malik-Monks-net-worth-in-2024-1.jpg"></figure><p>Malik Monk’s net worth in 2024 <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/malik-monk-net-worth" rel="noopener">is $3 million</a>. This is according to reputable outlets such as Sportskeeda.</p><p>Malik Monk was born on Feb. 4, 1998, in Jonesboro, Ark. He attended East Poinsett County High School. In his freshman year, Monk averaged 22.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. After his freshman year, Monk transferred to Bentonville High School, according to a <a href="https://www.nba.com/kings/news/get-to-know-malik-monk" rel="noopener">report</a> by NBA.com.</p><p>Here, Monk continued to hone his basketball skills. As a senior, Monk put up 28.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. For his efforts, Monk concluded his high school career by being named a McDonald’s All-American and Mr. Basketball of Arkansas.</p><p>Coming out of high school, Monk <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/171070/malik-monk" rel="noopener">was a five-star prospect</a> by ESPN. As a blue-chip prospect, Monk received offers from various college basketball programs. These colleges include Oregon, Kansas, Florida State, Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky. Monk eventually opted to play for Kentucky.</p><p>Monk was a one-and-done college prospect. In his lone season with the Wildcats, Monk averaged 19.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per outing. With Monk, the Wildcats managed to make it as deep as the Elite Eight before North Carolina eliminated them, 75-73.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk is drafted by the Hornets</b></h2><p>After just one season in a Wildcats uniform, Monk decided to forego his remaining year of college eligibility by officially declaring for the 2017 NBA Draft. On draft night, the Charlotte Hornets selected Monk in the first round with the 11th-overall pick.</p><p>Shortly after, Monk signed a four-year deal <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/sacramento-kings/malik-monk-23606/transactions/" rel="noopener">worth $15.73 million</a>, as per Spotrac. In his rookie season, Monk averaged 6.7 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 36 percent from the field overall in limited action.</p><p>It took Monk two more seasons before he was acclimated to the NBA. In the 2019-20 season, he averaged 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the field overall. A season later, Monk improved his numbers to 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per outing.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk signs with the Lakers</b></h2><p>After four seasons with the Hornets, the team decided not to extend Monk’s $7.03 million qualifying offer, making the 6-foot-3 guard an unrestricted free agent. The University of Kentucky alum decided to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers on a one-year contract worth $1.8 million, according to <a href="https://www.nba.com/lakers/releases/lakers-sign-malik-monk" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>In his lone season with the Purple and Gold, Monk averaged 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while shooting a career-best 47 percent from the field.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk signs with the Kings</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The complete voting results for the 2023-24 Kia NBA Sixth Man of the Year. <a href="https://t.co/wfP9hbqTOQ">pic.twitter.com/wfP9hbqTOQ</a></p><p>— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1783266894952218706?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>With Monk’s Lakers deal expired, the former first-round pick became a free agent once again. The 6-3 guard decided to join the Sacramento Kings. He agreed to a two-year contract worth $19 million, according to a <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/malik-monk-2022-nba-free-agency" rel="noopener">report</a> by the NBA.com.</p><p>Fresh from signing with the Kings, Monk immediately made an impact for the team. In his first season in a Kings uniform, Monk averaged 13.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.</p><p>But more importantly, Monk was part of the Kings squad that finally ended the longest playoff drought in the NBA. The Kings posted a 48-34 record to clinch the third seed in the Western Conference. As a result, the Kings made their first postseason appearance for the first time in 16 seasons.</p><p>In the postseason, the Kings faced the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. During the series, the Kings also won their first playoff game for the first time since 2006.</p><p>Unfortunately, the squad fell to the Warriors in seven grueling games. In the series, Monk averaged 19.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per outing while shooting 41 percent overall from the field in his playoff debut.</p><p>In 2023-24, the Kings went 46-36 but fell to ninth in the loaded Western Conference and did not make the playoffs after they lost their second Play-In Tournament Game. Monk improved his numbers to 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. Monk ended up runner-up to Naz Reid of the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sixth Man of the Year by <a href="https://x.com/NBAPR/status/1783266894952218706?lang=en" rel="noopener">just 10 points</a>.</p><h2><b>Endorsement deals</b></h2><p>As a first-round pick, Monk entertains basketball fans with his timely scoring and two-way play. Given his popularity in the NBA, it isn’t surprising that major brands have wanted to partner with the Kings guard. According to <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/malik-monk-net-worth" rel="noopener">sources</a>, Monk has endorsed brands such as Nike and Popeyes.</p><p>Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Malik Monk’s net worth in 2024?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Kings finished with a 46-36 record and nearly made the playoffs for the second time in a row after a 16-year drought. A large part of Sacramento’s success is Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malik Monk, whom the team resigned in free agency. Monk’s return impacts the Kings’ trade interest in Chicago Bulls guard Zach Lavine in an intriguing way.</p><p>The Kings signed Malik Monk to a four-year, $78 million deal. As a result, many rival executives believe Sacramento’s interest with the Bulls for Zach Lavine <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/aggregate-2024-nba-mock-draft-paul-george-tyrese-maxey-free-agency-zach-lavine-trade-talks/" rel="noopener">could be dwindlin</a>g, per Hoops Hype. This development leaves room for the Kings to focus their efforts on improving through the draft.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-kings-exploring-no-13-pick-trade">Sacramento possesses the 13th</a> overall pick, and it is believed they will target a small forward after retaining Monk. Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis are two names that could be good targets for the Kings. Alternatively, Sacramento could bolster their depth with players like Ja’Kobe Walter, Devin Carter, and Johnny Furphy.</p><p>Regardless of what happens, Sacramento wants to regain success reminiscent of their 2022-23 season. That year, the Kings earned the third seed in the Western Conference playoff picture. They faced the Golden State Warriors in the first round but lost in seven games.</p><p>Sacramento faced the Warriors again in the 2024 Play-In and got their revenge. However, they lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in their playoff spot-determining matchup, ending their postseason run early. The Kings did not have the services of Malik Monk at the time due to injury, but once he returns healthy he will make a large impact.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk is exactly who the Kings needed back</b></h2><p>As entertaining as it would be to see Zach Lavine leave the Bulls and wear a Kings jersey, it might be best if Sacramento cools their pursuit. Malik Monk’s scoring ability and continuity with the team should help the team get back to the level they were at before their 2024 postseason exit.</p><p>Through 72 games, Monk averaged 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and shot 35.0% on three-pointers during the 2023-24 season. Yet, his offensive ability is not the only thing he provides to the team. Head coach Mike Brown noted the positive impact <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-mike-brown-drops-malik-monk-charismatic-truth-bomb-amid-6moy-bid">Monk’s personality has</a> on the team in mid-April.</p><p>“Malik is one of the most charismatic guys I’ve been around. It’s infectious, you know? I mean, really great, great human being. You know, his charisma makes you want to be around him,” Brown said.</p><p>Unfortunately, Monk could not finish the regular season due to a sprained right MCL. Yet, that has not stopped him from giving energy to the team. Brown noted Monk as a vocal leader who is a supportive presence.</p><p>“And so with his charisma and how vocal he is, you want that presence around as much as possible. And you know, to his credit he’s been there. He comes to our film sessions, comes to our practices. Obviously, he’s active on the bench, and we encourage that,” Brown added.</p><p>The Kings will use Monk’s leadership in 2024-25 as they look for improvement.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
