Sergei Alexandrovich Monia (Russian: Сергей Александрович Моня; born April 15, 1983) is a Russian professional basketball player for Khimki of the VTB United League and the EuroLeague. He was selected by the NBA club the Portland Trail Blazers, in the first round (23rd overall) of the 2004 NBA draft. At a height of 2.02 m (6 ft 7+1⁄2 in) tall, he can play at both the small forward and power forward positions.
Professional career
Monia played briefly for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings, during the 2005–06 NBA season, playing in 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.[1]
In June 2010, Monia signed a two-year deal with the Russian club Khimki.[2] With them, he won the EuroCup championship in 2012.[3] In June 2012, he extended his contract with Khimki, for two more years.[4] On March 6, 2015, he signed a new three-year contract extension with Khimki.[5]
