Sims will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.
The 27-year-old big man will return to the first unit due to Ryan Rollins (foot) being sidelined. As a starter this season (five games), Sims has averaged 2.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back in bench role
Rotowire
Sims isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.
Sims stepped into the starting lineup Friday with Kyle Kuzma (calf) ruled out, and he stepped up by grabbing 15 rebounds. However, Sims will return to his typical bench role Monday with Kuzma cleared for a return.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Grabs 15 boards in start
Rotowire
Sims provided four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 105-99 win over Indiana.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (calf) both sidelined Friday, Sims got the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 18. The big man grabbed a game- and career-high 15 rebounds while also tying the game-best mark in swats. He isn't guaranteed to see significant minutes when the team is near full health and doesn't offer much on the offensive end, though he has logged 20-plus minutes in three straight outings. However, it's worth noting Bobby Portis missed the first two games of that stretch due to a hip issue.

Rotowire
Sims will start against the Pacers on Friday.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Holding down backup center role
Rotowire
Sims posted eight points (4-4 FG), six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 141-137 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Bobby Portis (hip) missed both halves of the Bucks' back-to-back set, enabling Sims to show what he's capable of as the No. 2 center option behind Myles Turner. Sims has logged at least eight points and six boards to go with multiple assists in consecutive outings, though his place in Milwaukee's rotation seems to be largely contingent upon the availability of Portis going forward.

Sims will come off the bench Sunday against the Timberwolves.
The Bucks will give Bobby Portis a look alongside Myles Turner on Sunday. In a spot start Thursday against Toronto, Sims had six points, seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back with first unit
Rotowire
Sims is starting Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Sims will draw his third start in five games after Kyle Kuzma (illness) was ruled out Thursday. Sims hasn't been able to capitalize on his previous two opportunities with the first unit, as he's been held to two points in each start despite logging 30 or more minutes.
Smis will come off the bench Thursday against Boston.
Sims has been ineffective in his last two appearances, posting averages of 2.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 30.5 minutes per contest. For that reason, the Bucks will roll with a smaller lineup featuring Gary Trent in the first unit.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Comes up empty again Saturday
Rotowire
Sims ended with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-112 loss to the Pistons.
Sims was a non-factor yet again despite starting for the second straight game. Head coach Doc Rivers seems to favor Sims as the replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Nonetheless, it doesn't seem as though Sims is worth the attention of fantasy managers.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Starting sans Antetokounmpo
Rotowire
Sims will start against the 76ers on Friday.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, Sims will get the starting nod for the second time this season. Over his last five appearances (one start), the 27-year-old big man has averaged 5.2 points and 6.4 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Career-best effort Wednesday
Rotowire
Sims finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.
The 30 minutes were a season high for Sims, as he took on a much larger role than usual after Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) exited the game after just three minutes, and the fifth-year center responded by setting a new career scoring high and tying his personal best in boards. The double-double was his first of the season and first since 2022-23 with the Knicks, but Sims should see his workload increase at least a little for however long Giannis is missing from the Bucks' frontcourt.
Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.
Sims made his first start of the season Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he played just 11 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Gary Trent enters the Bucks' starting five.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Making first start of season
Rotowire
Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Sims will join the first unit for the first time this season given the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin). Bobby Portis drew a pair of starts in Milwaukee's previous two matchups without Antetokounmpo, but it'll be Sims who gets a look Monday evening. He's averaging 2.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last five appearances off the bench.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Grabs seven boards in loss
Rotowire
Sims recorded two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 loss to Charlotte.
After logging two DNPs, Sims saw the court for 18 minutes, presumably due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Unless injuries keep the Bucks' frontcourt from playing, Sims will likely not see the court during meaningful minutes.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Sees seven minutes
Rotowire
Sims recorded three rebounds over seven minutes during Tuesday's 128-100 loss to the Raptors.
Although Sims is the backup center in Milwaukee, his minutes are often limited with the Bucks opting to go smaller -- Bobby Portis is also utilized at center. Across five appearances, Sims has averaged 4.4 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Limited to eight minutes
Rotowire
Sims accumulated two points (1-1 FG) and one block across eight minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
With three regular-season games in the books, Sims has made two appearances so far with an average of 4.7 minutes per contest. At least while Myles Turner and Bobby Portis are active, there won't be many minutes available.
