The Kings are keeping Malik Monk in Sacramento, reportedly agreeing to a four-year, $78 million deal to prevent him from reaching free agency.
The Kings have ensured that shooting guard Malik Monk will remain in Sacramento after the two sides reportedly agreed to a four-year, $78 million deal. The 26-year-old shooting guard was set to become a free agent on June 30. Monk has had the best seasons of his seven-year NBA career ever since joining the Kings in 2022. He emerged as one of the game's best bench players during the 2022-23 season, averaging 13.5 points per game on 44.8% shooting from the field and 35.9% from deep.
The four-year, $78 million deal Monk got was the maximum that the Kings could offer due to contractual rules and Sacramento's salary cap restrictions. Sacramento previously signed Monk to a two-year, $19.4 million contract in 2022. Monk expressed a desire to remain in Sacramento when questioned by reporters in April. 'I came here with one of my best friends , turned the organization around and turned the city around,' he said.
