Breaking News : Knicks’ athletic big man has added new element to his game this summer

Jericho Sims is serious about regaining his former role in the New York Knicks’ rotation next season.

Sims fell out of the Knicks’ lineup due to injury, Isaiah Hartenstein’s rise, and the midseason addition of Precious Achiuwa. Once Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau’s preferred replacement starter at center whenever Mitchell Robinson was forced to miss time, the work that Sims is putting in this offseason could allow him to reclaim that position.

According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the Minnesota native has been working on his jumper with the help of former Sacramento Kings great Mike Bibby:

“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,” Bondy wrote.
