Ament will start Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
After averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists while shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three-point range in 22.5 minutes per tilt over his last two games, Ament is being rewarded with his first career start. As a result, Jaime Jaquez will slide to the second unit.
