Sergei Alexandrovich Monia (Russian: Сергей Александрович Моня; born April 15, 1983 in Saratov, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union) is a Russian professional basketball player who was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1st round (23rd overall) of the 2004 NBA Draft. A 6'8", 220 lbs. guard-forward, Monia played briefly for the Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings during the 2005-06 season playing 26 games and averaging 3 points, 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 landed with the 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 Europe for Dynamo Moscow.
Monia is a member of the Russian national team.
