Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a left calf strain, sources told ESPN.
This timetable sidelines Monk, who is averaging a career-high 17.2 points per game, for the remaining three games of the regular season, including Wednesday’s matchup with the Denver Nuggets, as well postseason games in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament.
Monk suffered the injury late in the first quarter of Monday’s win over the Pistons in Detroit, a game the shorthanded Kings entered without forwards Keegan Murray (back) and Jake LaRavia (thumb).
The Kings, who already clinched a Play-In berth, are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference standings, holding a one-game lead over the Dallas Mavericks.
Sacramento hosts the LA Clippers Friday and the Phoenix Suns on Sunday to close out the regular season.
