Knicks' Jericho Sims: Late scratch Monday
Sims will not play against the Pistons on Monday due to back spasms, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Shifts back to bench
Sims will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
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 (knee) active. Sims had played fewer than four minutes in five consecutive appearances before the start.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Making spot start
Sims will start Monday's game against the Magic, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Fails to score in win
Sims produced one rebound over two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.
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.

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

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
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.

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

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
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 isn't an appealing option in most fantasy formats, and his playing time will be even more scarce once Robinson or Achiuwa are ready to return to the hardwood.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
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 out 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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Returns to action
Sims (ankle) will return to play during Sunday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.
Sims suffered an ankle sprain Wednesday against the Wizards but will be able to play in Sunday's contest. Sims will likely see a limited role backing up Karl-Anthony Towns.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
Sims' night was over right after it started, as he suffered 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' Jericho Sims: New York picks up team option
The Knicks picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: 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.
Sims played four minutes of garbage time as the Knicks were soundly beaten by the Pacers. Though he is 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.
