Watch: Malik Monk forgets to wear jersey, has to go to locker room
Malik Monk was all set to check into the Charlotte Hornets’ preseason game against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, but there was one hiccup. Monk realized he forgot to put on his jersey for the game.
As Monk was at the scorer’s table ready to check in, he took off his warmups and realized he didn’t have a jersey on. He had to go back into the locker room to put it on and play:

Monk was able to check into the game and nailed a couple of 3-pointers, so everything worked out despite his silly mistake.
The second-year player is looking to build upon a rookie season in which he averaged 6.5 points in 13.5 minutes per game while struggling with his defense.
