Strikes deal with Orlando
McClung and the Magic agreed to a one-year, partially guaranteed deal Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: The 2023 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion went undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2021 and has appeared in just four NBA contests over the last two years. However, the 6-foot-2 guard has been a stellar contributor at the G League level, averaging 20.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals while playing for three different affiliates -- Delaware Blue Coats (31 games), South Bay Lakers (26) and Windy City Bulls (one) -- over the last two years. In the likely event that McClung doesn't make Orlando's Opening Night roster, the Magic will retain his G League rights for the 2023-24 campaign.
