Malik Monk Secures $78M Deal to Stay with Sacramento Kings

The guard agrees to a four-year contract, avoiding free agency and solidifying his role as a key player for the team.

Monk averaged career-highs in points and assists last season, finishing as the runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year.
The new deal includes a player option and will be finalized on July 6, the first day contracts can officially be signed.
Monk's performance helped end the Kings' 16-year playoff drought and establish them as a competitive team in the Western Conference.
Despite a knee injury that sidelined him in the final games, Monk's contributions were pivotal to the Kings' success.
The Kings prioritized re-signing Monk to maintain roster continuity and build on their recent progress.
