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, 2025 • 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.

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. Sims drew a spot start in Towns' stead against the Magic on Jan. 6 and posted four points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a block in 29 minutes.

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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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
