Sims cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Monday and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims landed in COVID-19 protocols Christmas Day and has been sidelined since. It's unclear if he will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers. However, he's only played double-digits minutes three times this season, so his potential availability shouldn't impact Tom Thibodeau's rotations.

Sims is in the NBA's health and safety protocols and will not play in Saturday's Christmas Day matchup with the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Sims's absence means Mitchell robinson, Taj Gibson, Julius Randle and Obi Toppin will be the only frontcourt players available for the Knicks, as Nerlens Noel (COVID-19 protocols) is also out.

Sims ended Thursday's 124-117 loss to Washington with six points (3-3 FG) and six rebounds across 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie's stat line was nothing remarkable, but it's notable that he served as the No. 2 center behind Mitchell Robinson -- who fouled out in 25 minutes -- with Nerlens Noel in COVID-19 protocols. Meanwhile, Taj Gibson saw only seven minutes of action off the bench, finishing with two points and three rebounds. Sims hasn't shown nearly enough to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues, but he's had some explosive performances in the G League, so he's a player to monitor for dynasty formats.

Sims tallied 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 19 rebounds and two blocked shots over 39 minutes for Westchester in a loss to Delaware on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sims got an opportunity to log big minutes for New York's G League squad after playing in only one of the NBA Knicks' previous nine games. The center showed off his board-crashing ability, leading all players with 19 rebounds. Sims has spent most of his time this season in the NBA, but he has accumulated only 58 total minutes, so he could be assigned to Westchester on occasion in order to see more game action.

Sims (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims missed Thursday's loss to the Bulls due to a non-COVID illness, and coach Tom Thibodeau isn't yet sure whether the 23-year-old will be able to play Saturday. If he's held out once again, Taj Gibson could see an uptick in playing time.

Sims (illness) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Sims was sidelined for the Knicks' 119-115 loss to the Bulls on Thursday due to a non-COVID illness. Barring injuries, the backup big man hasn't been a part of New York's rotation this season, so his status shouldn't impact fantasy managers' decision making.

Sims recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during a 117-99 preseason win Saturday against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Sims' most recent stat line is a promising indication of what he could provide professionally. Though there are better options, they do not eliminate his chances to play during the upcoming NBA season. The Knicks have multiple injury-prone big men (such as their primary center Mitchell Robinson) and could benefit from having a serviceable rebounder like Sims.
