Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk said the team’s veterans need to speak up before Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Sixth Man of the Year runner-up “will go through warmups with the intention” of playing.” He has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury. Sacramento went 2-5 during that span. When Monk is not on the floor, this team's is not much of a threat. Look no further than last season.
