The Sacramento Kings have been dealt a significant blow with Malik Monk's untimely knee injury, which will prevent him from participating in the team's crucial NBA Play-In Tournament matchup against the Golden State Warriors. 


Head Coach Mike Brown confirmed that Monk will be unable to play due to a sprained right MCL, an injury sustained in late March that sidelined him for the remainder of the regular season. 

Recently, Malik was seen around the practice court, but not up to the playing mark. While interacting with the media, when he was asked about his return to the court, Malik refrained from giving any false expectations or committing any fixed point of time.

Sharing an update on his MCL injury, he said, “I can’t tell you because I haven’t ran yet. Once I do, I could give you an answer.”
