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.

EDGE Analysis

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 before 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.

Sims (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has been sidelined since Dec. 18 with a right ankle sprain, but he'll return a couple days before his initial target date. Isaiah Hartenstein has played well as New York's starting center, so presumably, Sims will pick up the backup center minutes that Taj Gibson has been soaking up.

Sims is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks due to the right ankle sprain he suffered in Monday's 114-109 win over the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn, but the Knicks appear set to hold him out for multiple games while he recovers from the ankle injury. The third-year player has served as the Knicks' starting center for the past five games with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out for an extended period, but Isaiah Hartenstein had absorbed most of the playing time at the position. The Knicks could choose to deploy Taj Gibson as their new starting center while Sims is out of commission, but Hartenstein should continue to dominate the minutes in any case.

Sims (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday against Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Sims' questionable designation is good news in the context of suffering a sprained right ankle less than 24 hours ago. He appears to be day-to-day. Isaiah Hartenstein could be in line for a huge workload if Sims can't suit up.

Sims has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Sims went down in the first half with the injury, and the team quickly announced that he'd been shut down for the rest fo the night. Look for Isaiah Hartenstein and Taj Gibson to get looks at center in Sims' absence.

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.
