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

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Minutes climb back up Tuesday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Zero impact despite start
Rotowire
Sims produced one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 134-128 overtime loss to the Clippers.
Sims remained in the starting lineup but was once again benched down the stretch. Despite his aforementioned role, Sims has been outplayed by Isaiah Hartenstein of late. He has failed to score in three straight games, adding basically nothing in terms of supporting stats. Hartenstein is clearly the preferred option right now.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Stays hot from field
Rotowire
Sims finished with 10 points (5-5 FG), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 loss to the Raptors.
Sims was perfect from the field for a second straight game, as he's now 11-for-11 in his last two matchups. He also made an impact on the boards by collecting five of seven rebounds on the defensive end. Sims should continue to see his name in the starting lineup until Mitchell Robinson (thumb) returns from injury.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Perfect from the field in start
Rotowire
Sims finished with 12 points (6-6 FG), eight rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 139-124 loss to the Hawks.
Sims got the starting nod in place of injured Mitchell Robinson (thumb) and did an excellent job while on the court. He came close to a double-double in 28 minutes of playing time and converted all of his shot attempts. Though Sims is likely to see only light usage if he continues as the Knicks' starting center, the playing time he received Friday relative to Isaiah Hartenstein (17 minutes) suggests Sims may be the preferred fantasy option while Robinson is sidelined for at least the next three weeks.

Knicks' Jericho Sims: Earns starting nod
Rotowire
Sims will enter the starting five for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Sims will get the first crack at the starting center job with Mitchell Robinson out at least three weeks with a broken thumb. However, the Knicks will likely run more of a rotation at the five with Isaiah Hartenstein and Obi Toppin also vying for center minutes. Sims is a solid streaming option considering his strong per-36 output of 10.1 points, 12.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.
