Double-doubles off bench Sims chipped in 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Sims led the Bucks in rebounding despite being utilized off the bench in this one. He's racked up double-digit boards in back-to-back games and continues to be a solid presence down low for this surging Milwaukee squad, who is 7-2 in February. Sims should remain heavily involved in the rotation until Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns, and likely beyond.

Solid performance in win Sims finished Tuesday's 128-117 win over Miami with eight points (4-4 FG), 10 rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes.

Impact Sims came off the bench for a second consecutive contest but had a major role in this one. The 27-year-old big man played the entirety of the fourth quarter and closed with a team-high 10 boards. He also dished out a career-high five assists. While Sims isn't likely to maintain this level of production and playing time once Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns, performances like this bode well for his opportunities moving forward.

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

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.

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

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
