Magic’s Mac McClung earns even bigger honor after Slam Dunk Contest 3-peat

Mac McClung’s G League playoff surge highlights standout season as Magic enter NBA postseason

McClung’s production increased in the postseason. Over five playoff games, he averaged 31.0 points, 6.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game, while shooting 46.1% from the field and 38.5% from beyond the arc on 7.8 attempts per contest. His most notable performance came in Osceola’s overtime win over the Birmingham Squadron, where he erupted for a career-high 46 points on 16-of-25 shooting, including six three-pointers, while adding five assists and five rebounds.

In addition to his G League dominance, McClung spent limited time on the Orlando Magic’s roster during the 2024-25 season. He appeared in two games, averaging five minutes and 1.5 assists per game. Over his four-year NBA career, McClung has played in six total games with the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Magic, averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 12.7 minutes per game.

McClung, the 2024 NBA G League Most Valuable Player, built on last year’s campaign with another standout season. His continued dominance in Osceola and growing recognition around the league have sparked renewed attention regarding his potential NBA future.

With Osceola’s G League season concluded following the Finals loss, attention now turns to the Orlando Magic, who are preparing for their own postseason run. Orlando clinched the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference after a dominant 120-95 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The Magic will now travel to TD Garden to face the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their first-round series on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
