The Milwaukee Bucks have confirmed the re-signing of center Jericho Sims on a two-year, veteran minimum deal effective from July 9. Sims, 26, returns after a challenging season where he averaged 4.9 points over 14 games post-acquisition from the New York Knicks at the trade deadline. Although he missed the final stretch of the regular season due to thumb surgery, he made a playoff appearance against the Indiana Pacers, contributing just under 12 minutes per game across five contests.

Originally drafted 58th overall by the Knicks in 2021, Sims is expected to bolster the Bucks' frontcourt as they aim for another strong playoff push. His prior experience and potential for development will be crucial, particularly in a league where depth is essential for success.
