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.

Starting sans Kuzma Sims will start against the Pacers on Friday.

Impact With Kyle Kuzma (calf) sidelined, Sims will get the starting nod Friday. As a starter this season (four games), the 27-year-old big man has averaged 2.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per tilt.

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.

Starting sans Antetokounmpo Sims will start against the 76ers on Friday.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, Sims will get the starting nod for the second time this season. Over his last five appearances (one start), the 27-year-old big man has averaged 5.2 points and 6.4 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per contest.

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.

Impact Sims made his first start of the season Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he played just 11 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Gary Trent enters the Bucks' starting five.

Making first start of season Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Sims will join the first unit for the first time this season given the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin). Bobby Portis drew a pair of starts in Milwaukee's previous two matchups without Antetokounmpo, but it'll be Sims who gets a look Monday evening. He's averaging 2.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last five appearances off the bench.

Grabs seven boards in loss Sims recorded two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 loss to Charlotte.

Impact After logging two DNPs, Sims sees the court for 18 minutes, presumably due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Unless injuries keep the Bucks' frontcourt from playing, Sims will likely not see the court meaningfully.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees seven minutes Sims recorded three rebounds over seven minutes during Tuesday's 128-100 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Although Sims is the backup center in Milwaukee, his minutes are often limited with the Bucks opting go smaller -- Bobby Portis is also utilized at center. Across five appearances, Sims has averaged 4.4 minutes per contest.
