Before coming to Sacramento, Monk has played for the Charlotte Hornets (2017-2021) and the Los Angeles Lakers (2021-22). At the end of that season, he moved to the Kings, where he has remained since then.

The American has been having the best season of his career before his injury, averaging 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game with the Kings jersey.
