Sacramento's star sixth man signed a team-friendly deal to stay in California.
ESPN Sources: Free agent G Malik Monk intends to sign a four-year, $78 million deal — including a player option — to return to the Sacramento Kings. Monk had career-bests of 15 points and five assists on his way to the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year runner-up.taking home this year's Larry O'Brien trophy.
Monk was the betting favorite to win the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award before suffering an injury that cut his season 10 games short. The ability to take over a game in clutch time is rare, but Monk proved his reliability time and time again in the 2023-24 season.His 15.4 points and 5.1 assists off the bench could only improve with more chemistry in Mike Brown's offense. Though it may have been a down year compared to 2022-23, the injury bug caught Sacramento in a bad time.
Monk could have gotten a much bigger contract and a starting role elsewhere. Instead, he will keep his contagious energy in Sacramento where he can keep throwing down lobs from. A rookie guard is far less likely now, so look out for some of the forwards that fall to 13.
