Starting sans Rollins Sims will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact The 27-year-old big man will return to the first unit due to Ryan Rollins (foot) being sidelined. As a starter this season (five games), Sims has averaged 2.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.

Back in bench role Sims isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.

Impact Sims stepped into the starting lineup Friday with Kyle Kuzma (calf) ruled out, and he stepped up by grabbing 15 rebounds. However, Sims will return to his typical bench role Monday with Kuzma cleared for a return.

Grabs 15 boards in start Sims provided four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 105-99 win over Indiana.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (calf) both sidelined Friday, Sims got the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 18. The big man grabbed a game- and career-high 15 rebounds while also tying the game-best mark in swats. He isn't guaranteed to see significant minutes when the team is near full health and doesn't offer much on the offensive end, though he has logged 20-plus minutes in three straight outings. However, it's worth noting Bobby Portis missed the first two games of that stretch due to a hip issue.

Holding down backup center role Sims posted eight points (4-4 FG), six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 141-137 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Impact Bobby Portis (hip) missed both halves of the Bucks' back-to-back set, enabling Sims to show what he's capable of as the No. 2 center option behind Myles Turner. Sims has logged at least eight points and six boards to go with multiple assists in consecutive outings, though his place in Milwaukee's rotation seems to be largely contingent upon the availability of Portis going forward.

Moves to bench Sims will come off the bench Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Impact The Bucks will give Bobby Portis a look alongside Myles Turner on Sunday. In a spot start Thursday against Toronto, Sims had six points, seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

Back with first unit Sims is starting Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Sims will draw his third start in five games after Kyle Kuzma (illness) was ruled out Thursday. Sims hasn't been able to capitalize on his previous two opportunities with the first unit, as he's been held to two points in each start despite logging 30 or more minutes.

Coming off bench Smis will come off the bench Thursday against Boston.

Impact Sims has been ineffective in his last two appearances, posting averages of 2.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 30.5 minutes per contest. For that reason, the Bucks will roll with a smaller lineup featuring Gary Trent in the first unit.

Comes up empty again Saturday Sims ended with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-112 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Sims was a non-factor yet again, despite starting for the second straight game. In all his wisdom, head coach Doc Rivers seems to favor Sims as the replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Unless he knows something we don't, it doesn't seem as though it is worth the attention of fantasy managers.

Bucks' secret weapon just introduced himself to the world Jericho Sims was a force in the Milwaukee Bucks' game against the Pistons.

Career-best effort Wednesday Sims finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.

Impact The 30 minutes were a season high for Sims, as he took on a much larger role than usual after Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) exited the game after just three minutes, and the fifth-year center responded by setting a new career scoring high and tying his personal best in boards. The double-double was his first of the season and first since 2022-23 with the Knicks, but Sims should see his workload increase at least a little for however long Giannis is missing from the Bucks frontcourt.
