Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly open-minded to possibly leaving Bucks

Sees 11 minutes Sims finished Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with four points (2-2 FG) and five rebounds across 11 mi...

Impact Sims was used sparingly by the Bucks during the regular season and the playoffs. In 53 regular-season appearances, Sims produced 1.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game. Sims, along with veteran center Brook Lopez, will both hit the free agent market this offseason.

Part of rotation in playoff opener Sims (thumb) played 10 minutes Saturday in the Bucks' 117-98 loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series, finishing with two rebounds and one block.

Impact After requiring surgery March 17 to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and missing the final 15 games of the regular season, Sims showed enough improvement over the past week to gain clearance for the Bucks' preseason opener. Though Bobby Portis returned from his 25-game suspension at the tail end of the regular season to bolster the Bucks' frontcourt depth, head coach Doc Rivers was still able to find a spot in the rotation for Sims, who handled a light role off the bench while starting center Brook Lopez was limited to 21 minutes. Unless a 20-to-25-minute role becomes the norm forLopez, Sims likely won't see his role increase as the series unfolds, and he could even be at risk of falling out of the rotation entirely. Damian Lillard has been cleared to resume on-court work after he had been diagnosed in March with a blood clot in his right calf, and if he's back in action for Game 2 on Tuesday, he would likely poach minutes from Sims and a few other supporting players.

Off injury report Sims (thumb) is not listed on the Bucks' injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Pacers.

Impact Sims underwent thumb surgery on March 17 and missed the remainder of the regular season, but he's available for the start of the Bucks' postseason run. The 26-year-old's role in the playoffs remains uncertain, as Bobby Portis served as Brook Lopez's primary backup to close the regular season, but Sims' availability is still a noteworthy development.

Impact After undergoing thumb surgery in mid-March, Sims participated in most of Tuesday's practice and appears to be on the cusp of returning to the court. Milwaukee's official injury report should provide an official designation on the 2021 second-rounder's status when it becomes available. That said, Sims would likely be facing a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Saturday, and Bobby Portis has since rejoined the Bucks following a suspension to play the backup center role behind Brook Lopez.
