The Sacramento Kings are struggling in the 2025-26 season, currently sitting at 7-23. Guard Malik Monk, once a reliable sixth man, has seen his role diminish significantly, playing limited minutes and experiencing a drop in performance. With the addition of veterans like Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder, Monk has fallen out of favor, and reports indicate he may be on the trading block ahead of the February 5 deadline. The Kings’ coaching staff appears to be shifting towards a youth movement, potentially leading to more changes in the roster soon.
