Basketball fans around the globe now know McClung for his high-flying, acrobatic skills, and now he will have a chance to truly begin his NBA journey with the Orlando Magic.</p><p>On Tuesday afternoon, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that McClung has <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1694039427520036875?s=20" rel="noopener">reached an agreement</a> on a new contract with the Magic. However, he still has work to do, as the 24-year-old’s deal with Orlando is partially guaranteed.</p><p>Going undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2021, McClung began his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers organization, as he signed with the South Bay Lakers in the G League after being waived before the start of the 2021-22 season. He went on to sign two 10-day contracts with the Chicago Bulls before joining their G League affiliates, the Windy City Bulls. South Bay then reacquired his rights and McClung agreed to a two-way contract with the Lakers to finish the 2021-22 season.</p><p>This past year, McClung joined the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League, the affiliates of the Philadelphia 76ers. After winning the Slam Dunk Contest in the middle of the season, he agreed to a two-way contract with the Sixers.</p><p>Over the last two seasons, McClung has only played in four regular season games. His best game came during the final game of the 2022-23 season, as he recorded 20 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 33 minutes of play for Philadelphia.</p><p>While he agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with Orlando, it is unlikely that an actual roster spot will open up for him. The Magic currently have 15 players under contract and Jonathan Isaac is the only player who does not have his current contract guaranteed, as Isaac’s deal is partially guaranteed for $7,600,000 until January 10, 2024.</p><p>This deal with McClung is not only an opportunity for him to prove what he can do in training camp, but it is also a chance for the Magic to see what the young guard brings to the table. They still have a two-way roster spot open and Orlando could also be interested in having McClung play for their G League affiliates, the Osceola Magic.</p><p>In a total of 31 G League games this past year, McClung averaged 19.8 points and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from three-point range.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And it doesn’t seem like his bag of tricks has run out just yet.</p><p>Speaking with Shams Charania of The Athletic, the former Sixers guard declared that <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1641106757224210433" rel="noopener">he has more gravity-defying feats in store</a> for fans, giving them <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-all-star-news-mac-mcclungs-promise-after-dunk-contest-win-will-hype-up-fans" rel="noopener">something to look forward to</a> when the 2024 All-Star festivities commence in Indianapolis, Indiana.</p><p>“I’ll come up with some things.

I felt like getting the crowd on your side with those first dunks and being ready to adapt, seeing what other people do [were important]. I wasn’t doing my exact script, so just being able to adapt to the situation and doing a certain dunk you know you’re comfortable with [goes a long way towards dunk contest success],” McClung added.</p><p>It’ll definitely be interesting to see what other tricks the former Sixers guard has up his sleeve. After winning the 2023 Slam Dunk Contest with an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-all-star-news-mac-mcclungs-epic-dunk-contest-has-fans-stunned" rel="noopener">eye-popping 540-degree dunk</a>, there’s no putting a ceiling on what magic McClung could conjure up in mid-air.</p><p>For now, however, McClung’s focus will be on helping the Sixers’ G-League affiliate, the Blue Coats, win the G-League championship. McClung is currently averaging 19.8 points and 4.9 assists in 28 games for the Blue Coats, as they will definitely be relying heavily on the dunk champ as they take on the Capital City Go-Go in the Eastern Conference semifinals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After signing a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and becoming an overnight sensation for his stellar dunks at All-Star weekend, he put up a poor performance in the Delaware Blue Coats’ first game after the All-Star break.</p><p>In 25 minutes, McClung shot 2-9 from the field in the Blue Coats’ 116-11 loss to the Motor City Cruise, the Detroit Pistons’ G League affiliate. He did have a team-high seven assists and many of his passes led to shooting fouls for his teammates but didn’t close out the tightly contested game. Head coach Coby Karl said that staying mentally locked in for the Dunk Contest tired him out, partly explaining his poor game. McClung himself didn’t make any excuses.</p><p>Many fans attended the Wednesday night matchup at Chase Fieldhouse <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-mac-mcclung-dunk-content-win-sends-g-league-ticket-sales-soaring" rel="noopener">mostly to see him</a>. There was an added buzz among the crowd in the few instances that he made a shot. McClung <a href="https://twitter.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1628595921691807744?s=20" rel="noopener">enjoys and appreciates the attention</a> yet is still keeping his focus on the court. He has newfound fame after dominating the Dunk Contest but the prize in his eyes is still a real spot on an NBA roster and being an impactful player.</p><p>“I think like it’s easy to say like, ‘Oh, if I get better at this, I’ll get a chance.’ But a lot of it is just waiting your turn. Like, I really haven’t had a turn yet, you know what I mean? So when I have that turn, I believe I’ll make the most of it,” McClung said. “I just try to play the game the right way, not really force too much.”</p><p>McClung said that he hasn’t had the chance to talk with Doc Rivers, Joel Embiid or anyone else on the Sixers roster or coaching staff yet. The odds of him getting his shot with a veteran-laden squad hoping to compete for a championship are minuscule at best. The 24-year-old is likely going to finish out the 2022-23 season in Delaware. But the chance to keep improving his game and get attention from talent evaluators around the league is not lost on him.</p><p>While his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-all-star-news-insane-stat-proves-mac-mcclung-has-saved-the-nba-slam-dunk-contest" rel="noopener">performance in the Dunk Contest</a> got people to know his name, Mac McClung wants people to remember it. He hunting for a chance at being a full-time NBA player, his best chance to make that a reality.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
