Malik Monk intends to sign a four-year, $78 million deal to return to the Kings, the maximum deal available to him to remain in Sacramento, sources told ESPN.
A fourth-quarter scuffle led to four player being ejected in Friday night's game between the Kings and Rockets, which Sacramento won 139-114.
Malik Monk is signing a two-year, $19 million deal with the Sacramento Kings after a career-year with the Lakers last season.
During a season in which little has gone to plan, the Lakers found a theoretical gem in Monk. But will a career year lead to an exit this offseason?
The Lakers canceled practice on Tuesday, and flew to Dallas for Wednesday's game vs. the Mavericks short-handed, with Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard and Malik Monk placed in the league's health and safety protocols.
The Lakers have agreed to a one-year deal with Carmelo Anthony, re-signed restricted free agent Talen-Horton Tucker, and, according to sources, agreed to terms with guard Malik Monk and Kendrick Nunn.
