One Sacramento Kings fan kept his promise after Malik Monk had a turnover-free game against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.

Monk went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Mavericks with an apparent lower body injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Monk (foot) has returned to Monday's game against the Mavericks, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports. Monk exited Monday's matchup after having his right foot stepped on and has since been cleared to play. He returned with 3:01 left in the second quarter and should be available to play a full complement of minutes in the second half.

Kings guard Malik Monk had 13 points on 6-11 shooting in Friday's loss, sharing some harsh words after the game. Monk was brutally honest about getting blown out at home by their division rival. "We can't get punked like that at home," Monk said. "That can't happen again."

Charlotte's injury report is filled with big names, leaving a clear choice for the matchup of the game. The Hornets may have just 14 wins on the season but have one of the most dynamic scorers in the league on their team in LaMelo Ball.

The Sacramento Kings lost one of their best players but still found a way to earn a hard-fought win over the Houston Rockets.

DeMar DeRozan had 21 points and the Sacramento Kings overcome an early injury to Domantas Sabonis for their third straight victory, 113-103 over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.

Zach LaVine scored 22 points and DeMar DeRozan added 20, each sitting out the fourth quarter, as the Sacramento Kings beat Dallas 122-98.

Many fans have called for the Kings to move Keon Ellis into the starting lineup, replacing either Monk or LaVine. Through 11 starts this season, Ellis is averaging 10.5 points and 2.3 steals while shooting an impressive 45.3% from beyond the arc.

The run of victories extended to four after the Kings took care of the shorthanded Mavericks, whose season took another disastrous turn when Kyrie Irving’s left leg landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket late in the first quarter.
