Jericho Sims News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Good to go against OKC Sims (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Sims is working through a right thumb sprain, and head coach Doc Rivers told reporters Sunday that the injury is severe enough that surgery is considered a possibility, per Justin Garcia of Locked on Bucks. Sims will continue to play for now, but how his thumb responds Sunday will be a factor on whether he undergoes a procedure or play through the injury.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Sims is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact The right thumb sprain is a new injury for Sims, who has made 13 consecutive appearances for Milwaukee. The big man has averaged 2.6 points and 4.9 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per contest in that 13-game span.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 11 rebounds Sims chipped in four points (2-2 FG), 11 rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 win over the Lakers.

Impact This game was over in a hurry, allowing Sims to enjoy some garbage time to close this game out. As long as Brook Lopez is healthy, there's not much to like about Sims' fantasy appeal -- he's averaging just 15.1 minutes over his last 10 outings.

How Bucks' trade deadline moves altered trajectory Milwaukee sought more youth and athleticism, which they found in Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter Jr., and Jericho Sims.

Good to go against Atlanta Sims (recently traded) is available for Friday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Sims has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday, as the trade that sent him from the Knicks to the Bucks has been finalized. However, the 26-year-old big man is unlikely to receive significant playing time in Milwaukee's frontcourt.

Questionable to debut Friday Sims (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Sims is questionable to make his Bucks debut after having been traded to Milwaukee on Wednesday. The big man will likely see a slight bump in playing time compared to the 10.8 minutes per game he averaged with the Knicks, and he should provide valuable depth at the center position behind Brook Lopez (knee).

Headed to Milwaukee via trade The Knicks traded Sims to the Bucks as part of a trade that sent Khris Middleton to Washington and Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Sims will provide center depth for the Bucks behind Brook Lopez. Sims hasn't averaged more than 16 minutes per game in any of his four seasons in New York, and he averaged just 1.6 points and 3.3 rebounds across 10.8 minutes with the Knicks this season. Given the Bucks' current roster, Sims shouldn't be expected to see a significant bump in playing time. However, Milwaukee is expected to be active ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, which could potentially open more opportunities for Sims.

Starting against Minnesota Sims is starting in Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact With Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) out Friday, Sims will get the start at center for the Knicks. Sims has averaged 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 points and 1.0 assists in 19.1 minutes over four games as a starter this season, and Precious Achiuwa should also play a significant role off New York's bench against Minnesota.

Starting sans Towns Sims will start in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Sims will start for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) on Wednesday. Sims has averaged 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 points and 1.3 assists in 17.9 minutes over three games as a starter this year.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Sims (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact After being upgraded to probable, Sims will fight off lower back spasms to suit up for the Knicks on Wednesday. With Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) out, Sims would appear to be in line for a spot start at center, although New York could elect to deploy Precious Achiuwa in its first unit with superstar big man Joel Embiid (foot) sidelined for Philadelphia.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Sims (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Sims and Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) were both listed as questionable initially, but Towns has been downgraded to doubtful, while Sims has been upgraded to probable.

Questionable for Wednesday Sims (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact After being a late scratch ahead of Monday's loss to the Pistons, Sims is in danger of missing consecutive games Wednesday due to lower back spasms. If the 26-year-old big man can't play, the Knicks would likely look to lean on Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) if he's available, and Precious Achiuwa would handle New York's backup center role against Philadelphia.

Late scratch Monday Sims will not play against the Pistons on Monday due to back spasms, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Sims was a late addition to Monday's injury report due to back spasms, and they appear serious enough for him to miss Monday's game. His absence won't impact the Knicks' rotation that much as he was a healthy DNP in New York's last two games.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts back to bench Sims will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Sims delivered four points and 10 rebounds in a spot start Monday against Orlando, but he'll return to a reserve role Wednesday with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee0 active. Sims had played fewer than four minutes in five consecutive appearances before the start.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Crashes glass in loss Sims had four points (2-4 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Sims had to shoulder the load for Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) during Monday's game against the Magic. Although he couldn't replace what Towns does offensively, Sims did crash the glass, recording double-digit rebounds for the second time this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Making spot start Sims will start Monday's game against the Magic, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Sims will take over down low in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), but Sims has averaged a mere 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 points and 1.0 assists in two games as a starter this season. Fantasy managers should turn to Precious Achiuwa for a more appealing streaming option Monday.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in win Sims produced one rebound over two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.

Impact Sims logged minutes for just the second time in the past four games, both of which have been no more than two minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Precious Achiuwa healthy, Sims' role is basically non-existent at this point.
