Jericho Sims News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Retreats to bench Monday Sims will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact With Karl-Anthony Towns returning from a one-game absence, Sims will slide back to the bench. The big man posted one assist across only six minutes in the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to Detroit. Sims will likely play an insignificant role off the bench while competing for minutes with Precious Achiuwa.

Starting Saturday sans KAT Sims is in the Knicks' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Impact Sims will make his second start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) being sidelined. Sims has yet to score more than 10 points in a game this season, but he should give the Knicks plenty of energy on both ends of the floor.

Pulls down 13 boards Sims supplied four points (2-2 FG), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 win over the Pelicans.

Impact This was the fifth game of Sims' career with at least 13 rebounds, and he finished one board shy of his career high. He took advantage of some garbage time in this blowout win, eclipsing 20 minutes for just the second time this campaign.

Starting sans KAT Sims will start Friday's game against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) a surprise scratch, Sims will make his first start of the season. Sims played 24 minutes during the season-opening loss to Boston, posting four points, nine rebounds and two blocks, but he's seen 16 or fewer minutes in every game since. He made 11 starts last season, averaging 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 22.7 minutes per game during those contests.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal impact so far Sims is averaging 1.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across six appearances off the bench this season.

Impact Sims was expected to contend for a spot in a depleted frontcourt without Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Precious Achiuwa (hamstring), but such hasn't been the case. The Knicks have played Karl-Anthony Towns at center and have elected to go with forwards at center in small-ball lineups rather than handing Sims heavy minutes. Thus, Sims shouldn't be rostered in any format, and his playing time will be even more scarce once Robinson or Achiuwa are ready to return to the hardwood.

Not starting vs. Wizards Sims is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The Knicks have shifted their entire starting unit for this preseason finale, and Sims will head back to the bench since head coach Tom Thibodeau has decided to roll what figures to be his starting lineup for the regular-season opener at Boston next Tuesday. Sims is competing with Precious Achiuwa for the backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns while Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is sidelined.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Receives start vs. Hornets Sims will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims will enter the starting lineup with the club deciding to rest its normal starters Tuesday. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as the Knicks' third-string center behind Karl-Anthony Towns (rest) and Precious Achiuwa until Mitchell Robinson (ankle) returns to game action. Sims will likely struggle to find consistent playing time when Robinson does make his return.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action Sims (ankle) will return to play during Sunday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Sims suffered an ankle sprain Wednesday against the Wizards but he will be able to play in Sunday's contest. Sims will likely see a limited role backing up Karl-Anthony Towns.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers sprained ankle Sims exited Wednesday's 117-94 preseason win over the Wizards after sustaining a sprained ankle, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sims' night was over right after it started, suffering the injury in his second minute of play. The center didn't record any counting stats. The severity of the sprain is unclear, but his next chance to play will come Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Knicks pick up team option The Knicks have picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Impact Sims will return to the Knicks for at least one more year. This comes amid uncertainty around Isaiah Hartenstein's future with the club, as the Knicks have reported interest in bringing the big man back. Sims appeared in 45 regular-season games last year, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes per game

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Sims racked up one rebound, one assist and one block across four minutes during Friday's 116-103 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Sims played four minutes of garbage time as the Knicks were soundly beaten by the Pacers. Known for playing his stars' heavy minutes, even in losses, common sense prevailed with Tom Thibodeau closing with his second unit. Despite another ankle injury to Mitchell Robinson, Sims has been unable to carve out a consistent role, something that doesn't bode well for his future when looking beyond this season.

Good to go Tuesday Sims (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the 76ers.

Impact Sims has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with right shoulder inflammation. However, the 25-year-old big man has yet to receive any playing time in the first four games of the series.

APRIL 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play in Game 5 Sims is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers due to right shoulder inflammation.

Impact Sims hasn't appeared in the first four games of the Knicks' first-round series, but he's dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of Game 5. While he'll likely be able to suit up, Sims is unlikely to see much playing time, even if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) misses another contest.

APRIL 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Sims won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Sims drew a spot start Friday and posted two points, four rebounds and a block in 23 minutes during a win over the Nets. However, Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles/rest) has been cleared to return following a one-game absence and will reclaim his spot as the starting center. Sims may fall out of the rotation completely, as Mitchell Robinson figures to operate as the primary backup.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start at center Sims is starting Friday's game against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims hasn't been a part of the Knicks' rotation of late, but he'll get an opportunity to show what he can do Friday. Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa should also factor into the mix at center.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench role Sims is not in the starting lineup to face the Warriors on Thursday.

Impact Sims has been experiencing an uptick in minutes with the recent absences of Isaiah Hartenstein and the fact that Mitchell Robinson is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. However, now that Harteinstein is back and available, Sims will return to his role as the backup center. The former Texas standout is averaging 3.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in February.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Blocks tow shots Tuesday Sims closed Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Pelicans with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 30 minutes.

Impact Sims moved into the starting lineup after Isaiah Hartenstein was ruled out as the Knicks continue to manage him through his recent Achilles injury. Outside of the seven rebounds and two blocks, Sims didn't offer much for managers. With Hartenstein likely to return against the Warriors on Thursday, Sims would once again fall off the fantasy radar.

FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Sims is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims will replace Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Sims is averaging 4.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Sims isn't starting Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Sims drew back-to-back starts for the Knicks heading into the All-Star break, but he'll retreat to the bench as the team resumes play Thursday. Over his last five appearances off the bench, he's averaged 2.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 29 minutes in return Sims (illness) started at center and tallied four points (2-3 FG) and seven rebounds across 29 minutes in Monday's 105-103 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The 29 minutes were a season high for Sims, who took on a big workload in his return from a three-game absence while usual starting center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) missed a second straight game and while Precious Achiuwa logged most of his minutes at power forward in place of the injured Julius Randle (shoulder). Sims could draw another start Wednesday in Orlando if Hartenstein remains out, though Sims will likely see his minutes drop back into the teens -- if he doesn't fall out of the rotation entirely -- following the All-Star break, when Hartenstein should be ready to play with little or no restrictions.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Monday Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Houston, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims will make his eighth start of the season with Taj Gibson representing his primary backup off the bench Monday. Precious Achiuwa is also a candidate to log minutes at center with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) sidelined for a second consecutive game.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially suiting up Sims (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Rockets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims missed the last three games due to an illness, but he was probable ahead of Monday's game and has officially been cleared to return. Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has been ruled out, so Sims could see increased run against Houston.
