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.

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.

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.

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.
