Bucks' Sims has surgery; playoff return 'likely'
Briefly

Milwaukee Bucks center Jericho Sims underwent surgery for a torn ligament in his right thumb, with expectations to return for the playoffs. He sustained the injury during a game against the Indiana Pacers, but despite wearing a brace and playing through it in a subsequent game, surgery was recommended. Since being acquired in a four-team trade, Sims has become a vital reserve for the Bucks, especially with Bobby Portis suspended. He averaged 2.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in his time with Milwaukee.
