Knicks Trade Jericho Sims to Bucks as NBA Trade Deadline Passes

New York makes a minor move, acquiring Delon Wright while relying on Mitchell Robinson's return to address frontcourt depth concerns.

The Knicks traded backup center Jericho Sims to the Bucks, receiving guard Delon Wright, draft rights to Hugo Besson, and cash considerations in return.
The move reflects the Knicks' confidence in Mitchell Robinson's recovery from ankle surgery, as they opted not to pursue major frontcourt upgrades before the deadline.
Sims, on an expiring $2 million contract, had seen limited playing time this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
The Knicks remain constrained in the buyout market due to salary cap restrictions, limiting their ability to sign high-profile players waived by other teams.
Eastern Conference rivals like the Cavaliers, Bucks, and Heat made notable moves at the deadline, potentially impacting the Knicks' playoff positioning.
