Knicks center Jericho Sims had surgery Wednesday on his injured right shoulder, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The recovery process will take about five months, and Sims is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, sources tell Wojnarowski.
Sims missed New York’s entire first-round series against the Cavaliers and hasn’t played since April 7. He appeared in 52 games this season and averaged 3.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per game while shooting 78% from the field.
Wojnarowski notes that Sims moved into a rotation role during the middle of the season while Mitchell Robinson was sidelined following thumb surgery, adding that the Knicks were 15-11 when Sims played at least 15 minutes.
Sims, 24, signed a two-way contract after being selected by New York with the 58th pick in the 2021 draft. It was converted to a standard deal last summer that includes a partial guarantee for next season and a $2MM team option for 2024/25.
He took part in the Slam Dunk Contest during this year’s All-Star Weekend.
Get healthy 58th pick ……
Picked him and helped develop him. Thibs is all about getting better. Who knew
Home team is bringing the Heat ……….
5 gms lols ………..
East Finals here we come ……
1999 Knicks beat Pacers to go to NBA Finals
Definitely a post to be saved and brought back later.
Same ole Knicks fan tradition. Guarantees they regret later.
Heat aren’t better. Just a fact. Look at second half of season. We could be deepest team in NBA. Basketball gods have blessed us with Heat in 2nd rd.
Barely expected them to beat Cavs. We are competing at high level. And depth is our strength. Enough to play with anyone. A healthy Sixers team is only team I would think beats us. Just lining up right it seems. Heat and their one man team not beating Knicks …..
I will save this.

Haters just want to hate. So ignorance is all they got. But if you actually observe and watch. You can see what a true Rebuild looks. It’s nice to see young players grow. And a team become a good team ……. playoffs first.
Beating Cavs a major step to contend ….
