Jericho Sims News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Not starting Friday Sims will not start Friday's game versus the Pistons.

Impact Sims was initially tabbed as the starter at the five for Friday's contest, but it appears head coach Tom Thibodeau changed his mind. Instead, Isaiah Hartenstein will get a look with the starting five.

Offers little in spot start Monday Sims registered four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 120-107 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Sims shifted into the starting lineup at the expense of Isaiah Hartenstein, but he failed to produce anything of note. This was an intriguing move by the coaching staff, something that may have simply been a tactical decision. To be clear, Sims is not a player to target outside of the deepest formats.

Running with first unit Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Sims will draw his first start of the 2022-23 campaign after seeing limited playing time so far this season. He's logged just 11 total minutes, two points and two rebounds over three games.

Questionable to return Friday Sims (groin) is questionable to play in Friday's preseason game versus the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Sims could potentially miss two consecutive preseason games with a groin injury he has been dealing with since the beginning of training camp. Without receiving much action in the preseason, it will be hard for the second-year center to crack the Knicks' rotation once the regular season rolls around. If he misses Friday's game, Sims' next chance to play will be next Wednesday against Indiana.

Ruled out Tuesday Sims (groin) will miss Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Pistons, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Sims has been dealing with an injury since the beginning of training camp, but his groin is a lingering issue. It is unclear how much time he will miss, but his next chance to play will be Friday versus Indiana.

Questionable for Tuesday's contest Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Sims (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Pistons, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims had been dealing with general aches and pains to start training camp, but he's now being listed with a groin injury. The Knicks will likely play it safe with the reserve big man during the preseason, but it's unclear if the issue will impact his availability for the regular season.

Misses practice Sims missed Saturday's practice due to general aches and pains, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact It does not sound like Sims is dealing with anything serious, just the usual soreness from training camp ramping up. Barring any setbacks, he should presumably be ready for the team's season opener. He is not expected to factor heavily in the rotation once the season kicks off but will be available off the bench for frontcourt depth if needed.

Knicks Sign Jericho Sims Former Longhorn saw action in 41 games in his rookie season in 2021-22.

Back with Knicks on three-year deal Sims and the Knicks agreed Thursday to a three-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sims was drafted 58th overall by the Knicks last season and saw meaningful action as New York dealt with frontcourt injuries. He appeared in 41 games (five starts) and averaged 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds in 13.5 minutes. Per 36 minutes, he averaged 5.8 points, 11.0 rebounds (4.0 offensive), 1.4 blocks and 1.4 assists. Sims will be competing for backup center minutes with Isaiah Hartenstein.

Will Jericho Sims' physicality, defense and 'push shot' benefit the Knicks next season? Sims’ defensive strengths aren’t limited to just the paint. He does a great job of stopping opposing guards on the perimeter from driving.

Pulls down 14 rebounds Sims registered six points (3-4 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-94 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Sims didn't register impressive scoring figures but was a dominant force on the glass, and in fact, the 14 rebounds represented a season-high mark for him. He pulled down at least nine rebounds in each of the final three games of the regular season, starting each of those contests. He ended the season with averages of just 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, though, as he saw an expanded role only down the stretch when the Knicks were out of the playoff race.

Gritty performance despite loss Sims finished Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Nets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

Impact Sims notched the first double-double of his career Wednesday. Despite being listed as a power forward, Sims operates as an undersized center at 6-foot-9, but his 250-pound frame makes him an imposing force inside. Per-36 minutes, Sims is averaging 10.9 rebounds and 5.8 points on 76.1 percent shooting from the field.

Will start for Robinson Sims will start Wednesday's game against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Mitchell Robinson (illness) ruled out, Sims will move into the lineup at center for his first start since March 25. The rookie out of Texas has averaged 3.1 points and 5.3 rebounds over his last 12 appearances (19.0 MPG).

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Sims will come off the bench during Sunday's contest against the Pistons.

Impact With Mitchell Robinson (back) back in the starting lineup, Sims will operate off the bench. Before drawing back-to-back starts, the rookie had averaged just 2.6 points and 6.0 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game over his previous five games.

MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid yet unspectacular Friday Sims had six points (3-3 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 111-103 victory over Miami.

Impact Sims remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Mitchell Robinson, ending the night with a serviceable fantasy line. It is unclear if this move is going to stick moving forward or if it was simply a way of easing Robinson back into things. If he does hold down the starting role, Sims could be someone to grab in deeper formats.

MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Getting first career start Sims will start Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Sims will get the first start of his career with Nerlens Noel (foot) and Mitchell Robinson (back) sidelined. He's been a consistent part of the rotation since late February. In the six games that he's seen at least 20 minutes, Sims has averaged 4.5 points and 7.7 rebounds.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Generates team-high rebound total Sims ended Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Nets with six points (3-3 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes.

Impact Although Sims scored only six points, he was a rebound magnet during his season-high 23 minutes on the floor. The 2021 second-round draft pick usually has minimal impact, but we could see more of Sims as the team's playoff hopes dwindle.

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Steps in as backup center Sims recorded zero points (0-1 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Sunday's 125-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Prior to the All-Star break, the two-way rookie out of Texas had appeared in only two of the Knicks' last eight games, but he was a surprise inclusion in head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation for both of the first two contests of the second half. On Sunday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reported that Nerlens Noel is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot that had left him available only in an emergency for the past two contests, so Sims could end up losing hold of his role as Mitchell Robinson's top backup once Noel is healthy. Though Sims brought some energy off the bench Sunday, neither he nor Robinson had any answer for Joel Embiid, who made 27 trips to the free-throw line while both Knicks centers fouled out despite playing fewer than 20 minutes apiece.
