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.

Sims tallied eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 17 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was two points shy of a double-double during his brief stint with the Westchester Knicks. Despite posting a game-high 17 rebounds, his point differential was the lowest on the team at minus-17.

Sims was recalled by the NBA Knicks on Thursday after a brief G League stint.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was assigned to the Westchester Knicks earlier Thursday and will return to the NBA following Westchester's game against Fort Wayne. The center has not appeared in an NBA game since March 3 and shouldn't factor into the team's rotation.

The Knicks assigned Sims to the Westchester Knicks of the G League on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims hasn't played in the NBA since Mar. 3, after starting in 14 games earlier in the season. However, he should see increased opportunities in the G League.

Sims isn't starting Friday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

With Mitchell Robinson (thumb) back in the mix, Sims will retreat to a bench role after starting 14 straight games. Across 30 games as a reserve, Sims has averaged 3.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 12.3 minutes.

Sims collected eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two steals and one assist in 35 minutes in Tuesday's 102-98 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Sims' playing time had been trending down even while he's maintained a spot in the starting five in place of the injured Mitchell Robinson (thumb), but the second-year big man out of Texas saw a big uptick in minutes Tuesday after playing no more than 27 in any of his previous five outings. The elevated run was a byproduct of backup center Isaiah Hartenstein accruing five fouls in just 13 minutes of court time, so Sims could easily see his minutes dip dramatically Friday in Philadelphia. Before running into foul trouble Tuesday, Hartenstein had handily outproduced Sims while playing more minutes in each of the previous four contests, despite continuing to come off the bench.
