Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Joining starting five

Sheppard will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Sheppard will run with the first unit Saturday as the Pacers have elected to rest a majority of their usual starters. His last start dates back to Dec. 3 against the Nuggets, when he ended with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 18 minutes.
