[edit] Pro career

Monia played briefly for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings during the 2005-06 NBA season, playing 26 games and averaging 3 points per game, in 13 minutes per game.

On February 23, 2006, Monia and Seattle SuperSonics' center Vitaly Potapenko were traded to the Kings in exchange for power forward Brian Skinner (who ended up with the Trail Blazers) in a three-team deal. Monia saw action in only three games for the Kings and was waived on July 28, 2006, because of his desire to play professionally in the Russian Superleague A for Dynamo Moscow.

Monia has also been a member of the senior Russian national basketball team. With the Russian national team he won the gold medal at the 2007 FIBA European Championship.
