The Knicks have picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Sims will return to the Knicks for at least one more year. This comes amid uncertainty around Isaiah Hartenstein's future with the club, as the Knicks have reported interest in bringing the big man back. Sims appeared in 45 regular-season games last year, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes per game

Jericho Sims Latest News
Knicks pick up team option
The Knicks have picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Sims will return to the Knicks for at least one more year. This comes amid uncertainty around Isaiah Hartenstein's future with the club, as the Knicks have reported interest in bringing the big man back. Sims appeared in 45 regular-season games last year, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes per game
Rare appearance in loss
Sims racked up one rebound, one assist and one block across four minutes during Friday's 116-103 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Sims played four minutes of garbage time as the Knicks were soundly beaten by the Pacers. Known for playing his stars' heavy minutes, even in losses, common sense prevailed with Tom Thibodeau closing with his second unit. Despite another ankle injury to Mitchell Robinson, Sims has been unable to carve out a consistent role, something that doesn't bode well for his future when looking beyond this season.
Good to go Tuesday
Sims (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the 76ers. Sims has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with right shoulder inflammation. However, the 25-year-old big man has yet to receive any playing time in the first four games of the series.
Likely to play in Game 5
Sims is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers due to right shoulder inflammation. Sims hasn't appeared in the first four games of the Knicks' first-round series, but he's dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of Game 5. While he'll likely be able to suit up, Sims is unlikely to see much playing time, even if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) misses another contest.
Back to bench
Sims won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls. Sims drew a spot start Friday and posted two points, four rebounds and a block in 23 minutes during a win over the Nets. However, Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles/rest) has been cleared to return following a one-game absence and will reclaim his spot as the starting center. Sims may fall out of the rotation completely, as Mitchell Robinson figures to operate as the primary backup.
Draws start at center
Sims is starting Friday's game against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. Sims hasn't been a part of the Knicks' rotation of late, but he'll get an opportunity to show what he can do Friday. Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa should also factor into the mix at center.
Moves back to bench role
Sims is not in the starting lineup to face the Warriors on Thursday. Sims has been experiencing an uptick in minutes with the recent absences of Isaiah Hartenstein and the fact that Mitchell Robinson is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. However, now that Harteinstein is back and available, Sims will return to his role as the backup center. The former Texas standout is averaging 3.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in February.
Blocks two shots Tuesday
Sims closed Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Pelicans with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 30 minutes. Sims moved into the starting lineup after Isaiah Hartenstein was ruled out as the Knicks continue to manage him through his recent Achilles injury. Outside of the seven rebounds and two blocks, Sims didn't offer much for managers. With Hartenstein likely to return against the Warriors on Thursday, Sims may once again fall off the fantasy radar.
Gets starting nod
Sims is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. Sims will replace Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Sims is averaging 4.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes across his last five starting appearances.
