Monk (ankle) could miss time to begin the 2026-27 campaign, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Analysis:Monk has been dealing with left ankle soreness throughout training camp and the preseason. While he hasn't been ruled out for Opening Night against Los Angeles, his availability will hinge on "how the ankle responds" leading up to the contest. If Monk isn't available, Nique Clifford should be considered the favorite to see more minutes.
