Sims registered four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 120-107 victory over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Sims shifted into the starting lineup at the expense of Isaiah Hartenstein, but failed to produce anything of note. This was an intriguing move by the coaching staff, something that may have simply been a tactical decision. To be clear, Sims is not a player to target outside of the deepest formats.

Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will draw his first start of the 2022-23 campaign after seeing limited playing time so far this season. He's logged just 11 total minutes, two points and two rebounds over three games.

Sims (groin) recorded six points and four rebounds across 13 minutes in Friday's 131-114 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims had been questionable entering the game due to a groin issue. Given that he suited up for an exhibition contest, it looks like there is not much concern over the injury.

Sims (groin) is questionable to play in Friday's preseason game versus the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims could potentially miss two consecutive preseason games with a groin injury he has been dealing with since the beginning of training camp. Without receiving much action in the preseason, it will be hard for the second-year center to crack the Knicks' rotation once the regular season rolls around. If he misses Friday's game, Sims' next chance to play will be next Wednesday against Indiana.

Sims (groin) will miss Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Pistons, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has been dealing with an injury since the beginning of training camp, but his groin is a lingering issue. It is unclear how much time he will miss, but his next chance to play will be Friday versus Indiana.

Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Sims (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Pistons, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims had been dealing with general aches and pains to start training camp, but he's now being listed with a groin injury. The Knicks will likely play it safe with the reserve big man during the preseason, but it's unclear if the issue will impact his availability for the regular season.

Sims missed Saturday's practice due to general aches and pains, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It does not sound like Sims is dealing with anything serious, just the usual soreness from training camp ramping up. Barring any setbacks, he should presumably be ready for the team's season opener. He is not expected to factor heavily in the rotation once the season kicks off but will be available off the bench for frontcourt depth if needed.

Sims and the Knicks agreed Thursday to a three-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was drafted 58th overall by the Knicks last season and saw meaningful action as New York dealt with frontcourt injuries. He appeared in 41 games (five starts) and averaged 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds in 13.5 minutes. Per 36 minutes, he averaged 5.8 points, 11.0 rebounds (4.0 offensive), 1.4 blocks and 1.4 assists. Sims will be competing for backup center minutes with Isaiah Hartenstein.

Sims registered six points (3-4 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-94 victory over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Sims didn't register impressive scoring figures but was a dominant force on the glass, and in fact, the 14 rebounds represented a season-high mark for him. He pulled down at least nine rebounds in each of the final three games of the regular season, starting each of those contests. He ended the season with averages of just 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, though, as he saw an expanded role only down the stretch when the Knicks were out of the playoff race.

Sims finished Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Nets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Sims notched the first double-double of his career Wednesday. Despite being listed as a power forward, Sims operates as an undersized center at 6-foot-9, but his 250-pound frame makes him an imposing force inside. Per-36 minutes, Sims is averaging 10.9 rebounds and 5.8 points on 76.1 percent shooting from the field.
