2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Knicks brought back Sims on a one-year, $2.1 million contract this offseason after exercising his team option. Originally slated as the third-string center, Sims could see increased playing time with Mitchell Robinson expected to be out until at least December. The Knicks made a blockbuster trade right before training camp, sending Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns, who'll be New York's starting center. Precious Achiuwa and Sims should compete for backup minutes until Robinson returns. Sims has been a fringe rotation player over his three-year NBA career. He started 11 games last season, posting averages of 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 22.7 minutes a night during those contests. While not relevant in standard fantasy formats, those in deep leagues might want to monitor Sims, especially if Robinson remains out longer than expected. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Jericho Eduard Sims was born in October of 1998 in Minneapolis. He is the son of Charles and Kimberly Sims. Charles played basketball for the University of Minnesota. Jericho has five older brothers, four of whom played college sports. For prep school, the tall center attended Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Minneapolis and averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds per game his senior season. Sims then committed to the University of Texas, where he majored in African & African Diaspora Studies with a minor in Anthropology. At Texas, Sims was teammates with fellow NBA-big Mo Bamba. Sims played four seasons for the Longhorns. As a senior (2020-21), Sims posted 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. That summer Sims was picked by the New York Knicks with the 58th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. In early August the Knicks signed Sims to a two-way contract.

Questionable for Wednesday

Back
January 14, 2025
Sims (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
After being a late scratch ahead of Monday's loss to the Pistons, Sims is in danger of missing consecutive games Wednesday due to lower back spasms. If the 26-year-old big man can't play, the Knicks would likely look to lean on Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) if he's available, and Precious Achiuwa would handle New York's backup center role against Philadelphia.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Outside of a few bright spots, Sims was basically a non-factor during his rookie season, closing as the 281st-ranked player in standard leagues. The addition of Isaiah Roby only complicates things even more for Sims, something that could see him fall out of the rotation altogether. The Knicks are coming off a successful 2022-23 season and will be looking to build on that momentum. Head coach Tom Thibodeau is known for running a tight rotation at the best of times, even when his team is not competing. Barring a couple of injuries to other players, Sims is not worth drafting in most fantasy formats.
The No. 58 overall pick in this year's draft will fill one of the Knicks' two two-way spots in 2021-22, allowing him to freely move between the NBA team and New York's G League affiliate in Westchester throughout the season. With all of Mitchell Robinson, Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson ahead of him on the depth chart at center, Sims likely won't have many opportunities to play meaningful minutes for the Knicks as a rookie.

Sims is a candidate to be traded ahead of the trade deadline, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
This doesn't necessarily mean that Sims will be shipped off prior to the deadline, as the club is likely gauging the market for the Texas product. Sims hasn't been productive off the bench this season for New York, averaging only 1.7 points and 3.6 rebounds over 32 appearances.
