This week was a tough week for Charlotte Hornets fans. Third-year guard Malik Monk was suspended indefinitely for violating the league’s anti-drug program.
This is especially disappointing considering how well Malik had been playing in the past few weeks leading up to the suspension. In his last 13 games, he was averaging 17 points on 44% field goal percentage.
Malik had even started in his first career NBA game the night before he was suspended. That was mostly because Devonte’ Graham did not play, however, Malik had well earned a chance to start with his recent play.
