Monk's comments came after the Kings gave up 130 points to Oklahoma City on Monday.
Monk said the team's veterans need to speak up, especially De'Aaron Fox, DeMar DeRozan And Domantas Sabonis.
“I feel like we have an experienced team now with some young guys, so we know how to turn that around.” Monk said. “Domas will say a few things, I will say a few things, Fox will say a few things and DeMar will say a few things. However, we need to change it quickly.”
