Jericho Sims News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks | FOX Sports

Getting first career start Sims will start Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Sims will get the first start of his career with Nerlens Noel (foot) and Mitchell Robinson (back) sidelined. He's been a consistent part of the rotation since late February. In the six games that he's seen at least 20 minutes, Sims has averaged 4.5 points and 7.7 rebounds.

Generates team-high rebound total Sims ended Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Nets with six points (3-3 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes.

Impact Although Sims scored only six points, he was a rebound magnet during his season-high 23 minutes on the floor. The 2021 second-round draft pick usually has minimal impact, but we could see more of Sims as the team's playoff hopes dwindle.

Steps in as backup center Sims recorded zero points (0-1 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Sunday's 125-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Prior to the All-Star break, the two-way rookie out of Texas had appeared in only two of the Knicks' last eight games, but he was a surprise inclusion in head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation for both of the first two contests of the second half. On Sunday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reported that Nerlens Noel is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot that had left him available only in an emergency for the past two contests, so Sims could end up losing hold of his role as Mitchell Robinson's top backup once Noel is healthy. Though Sims brought some energy off the bench Sunday, neither he nor Robinson had any answer for Joel Embiid, who made 27 trips to the free-throw line while both Knicks centers fouled out despite playing fewer than 20 minutes apiece.
