Sims (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Sims is questionable to make his Bucks debut after having been traded to Milwaukee on Wednesday. The big man will likely see a slight bump in playing time compared to the 10.8 minutes per game he averaged with the Knicks, and he should provide valuable depth at the center position behind Brook Lopez (knee).

The Knicks traded Sims to the Bucks on Wednesday as part of a trade that sent Khris Middleton to Washington and Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will provide center depth for the Bucks behind Brook Lopez. Sims hasn't averaged more than 16 minutes per game in any of his four seasons in New York, and he averaged just 1.6 points and 3.3 rebounds across 10.8 minutes with the Knicks this season. Given the Bucks' current roster, Sims shouldn't be expected to see a significant bump in playing time. However, Milwaukee is expected to be active ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, which could potentially open more opportunities for Sims.

Sims will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

This is an expected move with Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) returning from a two-game absence. Sims doesn't always crack the rotation when Towns is active for New York.

Sims is starting in Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) out Friday, Sims will get the start at center for the Knicks. Sims has averaged 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 points and 1.0 assists in 19.1 minutes over four games as a starter this season, and Precious Achiuwa should also play a significant role off New York's bench against Minnesota.

Sims will start in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will start for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) on Wednesday. Sims has averaged 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 points and 1.3 assists in 17.9 minutes over three games as a starter this year.

Sims (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being upgraded to probable, Sims will fight off lower back spasms to suit up for the Knicks on Wednesday. With Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) out, Sims would appear to be in line for a spot start at center, although New York could elect to deploy Precious Achiuwa in its first unit with superstar big man Joel Embiid (foot) sidelined for Philadelphia.

Sims (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims and Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) were both listed as questionable initially, but Towns has been downgraded to out, while Sims has been upgraded to probable. Sims drew a spot start in Towns' stead against the Magic on Jan. 6 and posted four points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a block in 29 minutes.

Sims (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

After being a late scratch ahead of Monday's loss to the Pistons, Sims is in danger of missing consecutive games Wednesday due to lower back spasms. If the 26-year-old big man can't play, the Knicks would likely look to lean on Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) if he's available, and Precious Achiuwa would handle New York's backup center role against Philadelphia.

Sims will not play against the Pistons on Monday due to back spasms, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was a late addition to Monday's injury report due to back spasms, and they appear serious enough for him to miss Monday's game. His absence won't impact the Knicks' rotation that much as he was a healthy DNP in New York's last two games.

Sims will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Sims delivered four points and 10 rebounds in a spot start Monday against Orlando, but he'll return to a reserve role Wednesday with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) active. Sims had played fewer than four minutes in five consecutive appearances before the start.
