team as well as its G League affiliate.
McClung is averaging 19.1 points per game with the 76ers G League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats. He has been on a tear of late, scoring 35 points in his last outing with the Wilmington outfit.
Last season, McClung saw time in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. He scored the last basket of the season for the Lakers, fittingly on a slam dunk.
He received the G League MVP last season while playing for the South Bay Lakers.
Last month, McClung was named as the first G League player to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, which takes place this weekend in Salt Lake City. He will also also participate in the Rising Stars Game this weekend.
The 76ers are waiving Julian Champagnie to make room for McClung.
