Knicks gauging Jericho Sims’ trade market with Mitchell Robinson on the mend
NY Post
Jericho Sims, recently removed from the Knicks rotation and inactive Monday with back spasms, is being shopped ahead of next month’s trade deadline, NBA sources who’ve been in contact with the team told The Post.
The center, among the franchise’s longest-tenured players, has been in and out of the rotation and was recently replaced by Ariel Hukporti on a “game-to-game” basis, according to Tom Thibodeau.
Sims also started three games this season — all missed by Karl-Anthony Towns because of injuries.
It’s unclear what the Knicks can retrieve for Sims, but a source said a second-round pick was one ask. The 26-year-old has garnered some interest around the NBA.
But he’s also a tough sell on the market as a player who is out of a rotation and will become a free agent in the summer.
The Knicks may also add another center this season, Mitchell Robinson, who, according to Thibodeau, remains on pace to return to practice this month after a long recovery from ankle surgery.
