Rwandan-American Nate Ament featured in his second NBA Summer League game for the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, July 12, at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, but his seven points from seven shots made couldn’t make the difference as the Bucks fell 90-80 to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs built a 17-point halftime lead and withstood a late Bucks comeback in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. Ament, the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, looked to establish himself in the mid-range early. After missing his first attempt—a 16-foot jumper—he got on the scoresheet with a turnaround fadeaway, finishing the first half with two points and two rebounds in 12 minutes.

Although Ament faced pressure bringing the ball up the floor at times, he continued to take on ball-handling responsibilities. He rounded off his performance with an impressive drive through traffic for a one-handed slam, again set up by Burries.
