Free-agent guards Mac McClung and Javonte Smart have signed training camp deals with the Orlando Magic, along with Ethan Thompson. In a corresponding move, the team waived Myron Gardner and Tre Scott. Smart has appeared in the most NBA games out of the three new signings with 18 appearances across two seasons with three different teams. He most recently played one game for the Philadelphia 76ers last season but averaged 8.9 points per game in 22 games for Crvena Zvezda in Serbia after being waived in December. McClung received MVP honors if the G League last season while playing with the Magic's G-League affiliate. He averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game across 27 games.

Two-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung will once again attempt to nail down a spot in the National Basketball Association. The Athletic's Shams Charania reports that the high-flying guard has signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Orlando Magic ahead of training camp. Mac McClung also took part in the Magic's camp a year ago but didn't make the roster. He spent the season with the Magic's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic, winning MVP honors. The 25-year-old averaged 25.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists for the campaign. McClung has posted 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 16.5 minutes across four career NBA appearances.

Free agent guard Mac McClung has agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with the Orlando Magic, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The 24-year-old took social media by storm after winning the 2023 NBA Dunk Contest but remained a two-way player for the 76ers and only appeared in two games last year. With the Delaware Blue Coats, the 76ers' G League affiliate, McClung averaged 19.8 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game across 31 games.

Guard Mac McClung is hopeful of playing in the NBA next season. The 24-year-old is an unrestricted free agent after spending last season in the 76ers organization, becoming the G League champion and even winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. "We'll see," McClung told Sean Deveney of Heavy.com. "I am in free agency right now, my agent is talking to some teams, back and forth. We're just trying to evaluate what is the best situation for me. Hopefully, I will be in the NBA next year and finding my way." Late last season McClung proved that he isn't all about big hops, posting a near triple-double in Philadelphia's regular-season finale against Brooklyn. However, he will likely only be a bench filler if a team decides to pick him up, and doesn't have any fantasy significance.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Mac McClung finally saw some playing time since winning the dunk contest in February. The new G-League Champion finished the game against the Brooklyn Nets with 20 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists on 8-for-17 shooting from the floor and 3-for-9 from deep. In a game that didn't mean much for the team, a lot of their two-way players and end-of-the-bench guys got to see some big minutes. McClung didn't disappoint but isn't going to be a factor at all in DFS for the playoffs.
