Jericho Sims finally healthy after surgeries, working on offense ahead of pivotal Knicks year
NY Post
The forgotten Knicks center should benefit from his first healthy offseason as a pro and workouts with a familiar former point guard.
Jericho Sims, who is expected to compete for the important backup spot behind Mitchell Robinson, rehabbed the past two offseasons from surgeries and was limited in his preparation for those respective seasons.
A year ago, Sims tore his labrum and cuff tendon in his shooting shoulder, requiring a procedure that took his rehab through the summer.
Two years ago, Sims underwent surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his thumb, a source told The Post.
That injury wasn’t previously disclosed, and a source said Sims was unable to work on his game from July to September 2022.
This year, Sims is fit and training with Mike Bibby, who has been a coach since retiring from the NBA in 2012 after 14 playing seasons, including his final with the Knicks.
