Jericho Sims Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (back) and center Jericho Sims (knee) are ready for action on Thursday against the Miami Heat. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game after missing Tuesday's loss to Phoenix. Portis and Sims will boost Milwaukee's frontcourt, with the former being a more appealing fantasy piece. Portis bagged a double-double in his last appearance and is averaging 14.6 points and 4.8 rebounds this month.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. will return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the Boston Celtics, replacing Jericho Sims. Trent Jr. was a regular starter earlier in the campaign but has come exclusively off the bench this month. Sims started each of the last two contests, but the 27-year-old was limited to only 2.0 points per game and had 6.0 rebounds. While Trent Jr. has done a decent job off the bench, his numbers have improved slightly in a starting role this season, jumping to 9.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed center Jericho Sims to a new deal on Tuesday. The two sides have come to terms on a two-year deal. Sims was acquired by the Bucks mid-season from the New York Knicks. He didn't do too much damage as he averaged 2.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 0.8 assists across 15.0 minutes per game in a career-high 53 games. It's worth noting that Sims did play in all the postseason games for the Bucks. Despite that, Sims figures to have a minimal role in the rotation behind newly acquired center Myles Turner. Sims is unlikely to bring much to the table while Turner is healthy.

Milwaukee Bucks center Jericho Sims (thumb) is on track to return to the lineup for the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The 26-year-old big man missed the final month of the regular season after undergoing thumb surgery. On Tuesday, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said he is "pretty sure" Sims will be available for the team's first-round series against the Indiana Pacers, which begins on Saturday. Sims has averaged 2.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes with the Bucks. However, with Bobby Portis back from suspension, the former Knick will likely have a smaller role during the postseason.

Milwaukee Bucks center Jericho Sims (thumb) will be out for the remainder of the regular season. The team announced that Sims underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and is expected to miss approximately four weeks. The Bucks will wrap up their regular-season schedule on April 13, making it unlikely Sims will return to action before the postseason. In its press release, the team noted that Sims would "likely return for the playoffs." Since moving to Milwaukee in a trade deadline deal with the New York Knicks, Sims has done a decent job as a backup big for the Bucks, averaging 2.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game. However, fantasy managers likely won't miss him much.

The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired center Jericho Sims from the New York Knicks in exchange for guard Delon Wright and cash. Sims will add some center depth to the Bucks roster behind Brook Lopez. The 26-year-old had a limited role in New York, averaging 1.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 10.8 minutes this season. The move to Milwaukee is unlikely to impact Sims' fantasy stock. Wright clearly wasn't part of the team's plans moving forward, featuring in just four games for the Bucks in 2025.

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (back) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Sims was recently removed from the Knicks rotation with back spasms and it remains to be seen whether or not he will be ready to go against the Philadelphia. Sims is in his fourth season with the Knicks and is averaging 1.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest while shooting 63.2% from the field in 32 games. Sims also started three games this season as Karl-Anthony Towns was injured. Ariel Hukporti will likely play more if Sims and Towns are absent for Wednesday's game.

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (back) will not play on Monday against Detroit. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to back spasms. Sims is way down in the pecking order at center, so his absence will not impact the Knicks, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns healthy and good to go. Towns has been out only three times this season, limiting Sims' role on the team. He has averaged 1.7 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.6 minutes.

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims played only a couple of minutes on Wednesday against Washington because of an ankle injury. The 25-year-old exited the action without registering any stats. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined, Sims has an opportunity to carve out a role in the rotation for the beginning of the season. But he will need to stay on the court to make an impression, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case on Wednesday. New York is now off until Sunday, giving Sims some rest time, but it might not be enough, depending on the severity of the injury.

New York Knicks forward/center Jericho Sims had his $2.1 million contract for the 2024-25 campaign fully guaranteed by the team. The 25-year-old has appeared in 138 regular-season games for New York since he was taken as the No. 58 overall pick in 2021. However, he has struggled to find a spot in the rotation and has averaged just 2.6 points and 3.3 rebounds. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) potentially missing time to begin the year, Sims could get minutes. Yet, there's a chance Julius Randle (shoulder) and Precious Achiuwa split time underneath the rim while Mitchell recovers, meaning Sims could remain the odd man out.
