Malik Monk injury update: Hornets guard now considered day to day with minor thumb injury

It looks like Malik Monk will be fine after all.

The former Kentucky Wildcats guard suffered what was believed to be a broken thumb last week while playing with the Hornets in the NBA Summer League. However, the team has now announced that it wasn’t a fracture, and Monk is now considered day to day for the rest of the Summer League.

The original injury was believed to be bad enough to sideline him for 6-8 weeks. Even though there’s now a chance Monk could play in the Summer League, the Hornets would be smart to shut him down and not risk further injury.
