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

EDGE Analysis

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 seems that the Knicks are going to continue with Sims as the starter, making him someone to consider in deeper formats.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Sims was called up from the G League to the NBA on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has been getting spot run with the Knicks, but he's unlikely to play a meaningful role unless Mitchell Robinson or Isaiah Hartenstein suffer an injury.

Sims tallied two points (1-2 FG), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 32 minutes in Tuesday's 123-110 preseason loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Sims got the starting nod with the Knicks resting a handful of regulars and finished as the only player in the contest to reach double figures in rebounds. Sims set a preseason high in rebounds Tuesday and is now averaging 1.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks over three preseason contests.

Sims is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics, Stefan Brondy of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will replace Julius Randle (rest) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Sims averaged 3.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 15.6 minutes across his 52 appearances for the Knicks last season.

Sims (shoulder) is healthy for the start of training camp Tuesday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims underwent right shoulder surgery in late April, but he's healthy in time for a pivotal Knicks training camp. The 24-year-old is a surprise candidate to absorb some of Obi Toppin's vacated minutes at power forward for this season.

Sims underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims had already missed the last three games due to right shoulder soreness, so his absence won't affect the Knicks' playoff rotation. The procedure will require five months of recovery on rehabilitation, but the 24-year-old center should be available for the start of training camp. Sims averaged 3.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 15.6 minutes across 52 appearances, including 16 starts, in 2022-23.

Sims (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will miss a third straight game due to right shoulder soreness. He wasn't part of the Knicks' postseason rotation while healthy, so his prolonged absence shouldn't have an impact.

Sims (shoulder) won't play in Game 4 versus the Cavaliers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will miss his second straight game with right shoulder soreness. His next chance to suit up is Game 5 on Wednesday.

Sims has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers due to a sore right shoulder.

EDGE Analysis

Sims hasn't played in either of the first two games of the series, so his absence shouldn't impact the Knicks' postseason rotation.
