Kings G Malik Monk (calf) out at least 2 weeks

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will miss the rest of the regular season and the play-in tournament with a left calf strain.

The team announced the injury Thursday and said Monk, who didn’t play in Wednesday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Monk, 27, averaged career highs in points (17.2), assists (5.6) and rebounds (3.8) in 65 games (45 starts) this season.

The Kings (39-41) have clinched a play-in berth with two games left in their regular season, entering Thursday’s action in ninth place in the Western Conference. The play-in games will take place from April 15-18, with the first round starting on April 19.

Monk’s earliest return, based on the team’s timeline, would be on April 24.

A first-round pick (11th overall) by Charlotte in 2017, Monk has career averages of 12.3 points, 3.2 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 523 games (83 starts) with the Hornets (2017-21), Los Angeles Lakers (2021-22) and Kings.
