Jericho Sims News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Likely to play Monday Sims (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Sims missed the last three games due to an illness, but he will likely return to the lineup Monday. Sims could be in line for extended minutes with Julius Randle (shoulder) out of the lineup, especially if Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles, questionable) is unable to go.

Won't play Saturday Sims (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against the Pacers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Knicks will be very thin up front, so Taj Gibson will draw the start at center. Sims is day-to-day and should be considered questionable for Monday versus Houston.

Iffy for Saturday Sims (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pacers.

Impact Sims is in danger of missing his third straight contest Saturday due to a non-COVID illness. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) out, Taj Gibson and Precious Achiuwa could receive increased playing time.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Sims (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness, and his absence leaves the Knicks particularly shorthanded following Thursday's trade deadline. Taj Gibson will likely continue to see increased playing time against the Mavericks.

Out due to illness Sims won't play in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

Impact Sims is a late scratch, joining Julius Randle (shoulder), OG Anunoby (elbow) and Quentin Grimes (knee) on the sidelines. New York's depth will be tested once again, but Memphis also remains shorthanded.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Sims isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Heat.

Impact Isaiah Hartenstein will replace Sims in the starting lineup Saturday. Sims is averaging o.4 points in 3.0 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Career-high four blocks Tuesday Sims registered six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact With Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) sidelined, Sims made his first start since Dec. 18 and responded by setting a new career high in rejections while playing a season-high 27 minutes. The 2021 second-round pick has had trouble even cracking the Knicks' frontcourt rotation since Precious Achiuwa came over from Toronto in the OG Anunoby trade, but if Sims can start providing a consistent presence on defense, his workload should begin to increase again.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially starting against Nets Sims is in the starting lineup in Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn.

Impact Sims will replace Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) in the starting five Tuesday. Sims is averaging 3.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.4 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Tuesday Sims is expected to start Tuesday's contest against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable but trending in the wrong direction, and if he's ruled out, Sims would move into the starting lineup. Sims made five straight starts from Dec. 11-18 after Mitchell Robinson (ankle) suffered a long-term injury, but the former saw over 20 minutes of playing time just once during that stretch. Precious Achiuwa would also likely see increased minutes off the bench if Hartenstein is ruled out.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees action in garbage time Sims played the final 7:24 of Tuesday's 112-84 win over the Trail Blazers, finishing with one rebound, one steal and one turnover.

Impact Sims was sidelined for about a week and a half in December due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been active for each of the team's last six games. After a brief run as the Knicks' starting center prior to suffering the ankle injury, Sims now finds himself out of the rotation entirely, as Isaiah Hartenstein has graduated to the top unit, while the newly acquired Precious Achiuwa has been serving as Hartenstein's primary backup. Sims has appeared in each of the last four games, though all of those contests have been blowouts in which he didn't leave the bench until the outcome was already decided.

JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Saturday Sims (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Sims has been sidelined since Dec. 18 with a right ankle sprain, but he'll return a couple days before his initial target date. Isaiah Hartenstein has played well as New York's starting center, so presumably, Sims will pick up the backup center minutes that Taj Gibson has been soaking up.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least a week Sims is expected to miss 1-2 weeks due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against the Lakers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Sims was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn but will now miss at least a week of action. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out for an extended period, Isaiah Hartenstein and Taj Gibson will likely be relied on to play extended minutes at center.
