• Knicks' Jericho Sims: Starting sans KAT

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

Sims is competing with Precious Achiuwa for the backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns while Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is sidelined.

  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.
