September 5 news, it is understood that the Orlando Magic have reached a cooperative agreement with slam dunk champion Mac McClung, who will have the opportunity to enter the Magic’s rotation in the new season.
Earlier, renowned sports journalist Shams Charania reported that McClung had signed a “partially guaranteed” contract with the Orlando Magic.
McClung played for the G League affiliate of the Magic during the 2023-24 season and won the G League Most Valuable Player award. Additionally, he is a two-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion. During the 2023-24 season, McClung performed excellently in the G League, averaging 24.7 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game. This was his best performance since the start of his career in the 2021-22 season.
McClung last played in an NBA game during the 2022-23 season when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers. To date, he has played a total of four games in the NBA, averaging 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
The Orlando Magic performed strongly in the 2023-24 season, achieving a record of 47 wins and 35 losses, and entered the playoffs as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. Although they were eliminated after a seven-game battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, this team, centered around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, should not be underestimated in the new season.
