Sims underwent surgery Monday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims popped up on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder, but he still managed to play 12 minutes and log four rebounds, one assist and one block in the loss. The injury was severe enough to warrant a procedure, but Sims is expected to be fully recovered by the start of the playoffs. Sims' absence could lead to Giannis Antetokounmpo playing more at center when Brook Lopez is on the bench, as well as more minutes off the bench for Chris Livingston and Pete Nance.

Sims (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Sims is working through a right thumb sprain, and head coach Doc Rivers told reporters Sunday that the injury is severe enough that surgery is considered a possibility, per Justin Garcia of Locked on Bucks. Sims will continue to play for now, but how his thumb responds Sunday will be a factor on whether he undergoes a procedure or continues to play through the injury.

Sims is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.

EDGE Analysis

The right thumb sprain is a new injury for Sims, who has made 13 consecutive appearances for Milwaukee. The big man has averaged 2.6 points and 4.9 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per contest in that 13-game span.

Sims chipped in four points (2-2 FG), 11 rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

This game was over in a hurry, allowing Sims to enjoy some garbage time to close this game out. As long as Brook Lopez is healthy, there's not much to like about Sims' fantasy appeal -- he's averaging just 15.1 minutes over his last 10 outings.

Sims (recently traded) is available for Friday's game versus the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday, as the trade that sent him from the Knicks to the Bucks has been finalized. However, the 26-year-old big man is unlikely to receive significant playing time in Milwaukee's frontcourt.

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.
