The Orlando Magic are adding free agent guard Mac McClung to their roster with an Exhibit 10 contract, as reported by Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. McClung, known for winning consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contests and being named the 2024 G League MVP, is set to join the team.

Recent NBA Stint and G League Success for McClung
In the 2022-23 NBA season, McClung had a brief stint with the Philadelphia 76ers, playing a total of four games where he displayed his abilities on the court. He continued to make an impact with the Philadelphia Blue Coats in the G League.
