In the beautiful victory of the Sixers once morest the Nets, Mac McClung feasted. After his title in the G League, the darling of the Dunk Contest 2023 impresses among the big ones. Beautiful idyllic week.
Do you remember Mac McClung? The one who ignited the Dunk Contest 2023 during All-Star Weekend. After making history for the Delaware Blue Coats by winning the G League title earlier this week, here he is in the adults. And the perfs are all equally impressive. Faced with the Nets of Cam Thomas, the darling of the Sixers came close to the triple-double. After 33 minutes, he gives us 20 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists at 50% shooting. All sprinkled with pretty dunks as he had already shown it to us two months ago. The little nugget is living her best life right now with all he smiles at her.

This performance allows him to get comfortable in the deep end. In a few days, he will have to repeat the efforts following coming off the bench when the Playoffs once morest the same Brooklyn team. And this time, with a Mikal Bridges playing more than four seconds. Hard to think that McClung will have the opportunity to redo a performance like this in the postseason with the low playing time that will be allocated to him. But he proves that when we trust him, he responds present, no matter the situation. Important for this kind of player who does not have a guaranteed contract and who would no doubt like to be part of the adventure once more next season.
