Out due to illness Sims won't play in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

Career-high four blocks Tuesday Sims registered six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact With Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) sidelined, Sims made his first start since Dec. 18 and responded by setting a new career high in rejections while playing a season-high 27 minutes. The 2021 second-round pick has had trouble even cracking the Knicks' frontcourt rotation since Precious Achiuwa came over from Toronto in the OG Anunoby trade, but if Sims can start providing a consistent presence on defense, his workload should begin to increase again.

Officially starting against Nets Sims is in the starting lineup in Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn.

Impact Sims will replace Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) in the starting five Tuesday. Sims is averaging 3.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.4 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

Expected to start Tuesday Sims is expected to start Tuesday's contest against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable but trending in the wrong direction, and if he's ruled out, Sims would move into the starting lineup. Sims made five straight starts from Dec. 11-18 after Mitchell Robinson (ankle) suffered a long-term injury, but the former saw over 20 minutes of playing time just once during that stretch. Precious Achiuwa would also likely see increased minutes off the bench if Hartenstein is ruled out.

Sees action in garbage time Sims played the final 7:24 of Tuesday's 112-84 win over the Trail Blazers, finishing with one rebound, one steal and one turnover.

Impact Sims was sidelined for about a week and a half in December due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been active for each of the team's last six games. After a brief run as the Knicks' starting center prior to suffering the ankle injury, Sims now finds himself out of the rotation entirely, as Isaiah Hartenstein has graduated to the top unit, while the newly acquired Precious Achiuwa has been serving as Hartenstein's primary backup. Sims has appeared in each of the last four games, though all of those contests have been blowouts in which he didn't leave the bench until the outcome was already decided.

Available for Saturday Sims (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Sims has been sidelined since Dec. 18 with a right ankle sprain, but he'll return a couple days before his initial target date. Isaiah Hartenstein has played well as New York's starting center, so presumably, Sims will pick up the backup center minutes that Taj Gibson has been soaking up.

Out at least a week Sims is expected to miss 1-2 weeks due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against the Lakers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Sims was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn but will now miss at least a week of action. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out for an extended period, Isaiah Hartenstein and Taj Gibson will likely be relied on to play extended minutes at center.

Questionable for Wednesday Sims (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday against Brooklyn.

Impact Sims' questionable designation is good news in the context of suffering a sprained right ankle less than 24 hours ago. He appears to be day-to-day, but his status for Wednesday is firmly in doubt. Isaiah Hartenstein could be in line for a huge workload if Sims can't suit up.

Exits with ankle sprain Sims has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Sims went down in the first half with the injury, and the team quickly announced that he'd been shut down for the rest fo the night. Look for Isaiah Hartenstein and Taj Gibson to get looks at center in Sims' absence.

Grabs seven boards in start Sims produced two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 136-130 win over the Raptors.

Impact Sims moved into the starting lineup, replacing Mitchell Robinson (ankle) who looks set to miss at least two months of action. Despite starting, Sims was outplayed by Isaiah Hartenstein. It does feel as though the Knicks are going to continue with Sims as the starter, making him someone to consider in deeper formats.

Gets starting nod Monday Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Sims will make his first start of the season after logging just 25 total minutes across nine appearances thus far. Monday marks the beginning of Mitchell Robinson's 8-to-10 week absence due to ankle surgery, while Isaiah Hartenstein is active but will remain with the second unit. Sims' athleticism and rim-running style would constitute a new twist to the Knicks' offense, but it's unclear if he can provide sustainable two-way play in a larger role.
