The three-time consecutive NBA Slam Dunk champion has reportedly found a home.
After spending time in the G League with the Orlando Magic and on two-way deals, Mac McClung has signed his first standard NBA contract, with the Indiana Pacers, ESPN reported Monday, Oct. 27.
McClung, 26, has played in just six NBA games in his five-year career. He averaged 5.5 points, 2.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds across those appearances.
In the G League, McClung was one of the more explosive and productive players. In 30 games last season for the Osceola Magic, he averaged 25.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
According to ESPN, the deal is non-guaranteed and is a multi-year contract. In order to make room for McClung, the Pacers will waive James Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2020 NBA Draft.
Indiana is contending with numerous injuries in its backcourt. Not only did star guard Tyrese Haliburton tear his Achilles in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, but Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), Bennedict Mathurin (foot), T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Johnny Furphy (foot) are all expected to miss at least a few games with their injuries.
Wiseman had made his return from his own torn Achilles tendon, suffered in the first game of the regular season last year, and played in Indiana’s season opener. He started, but played just 20 minutes and scored 4 points and added 4 rebounds.
