Still present in the G-League, Mac McClung still hopes to return to the NBA. He was just impressive during his team’s last victory, with a record performance for the leader: we imagine that the staff is following all this closely.
While he was not kept by the Lakers for the NBA, Mac McClung is now trying to revive himself in the G-League, with the affiliated team of the Angelinos precisely. A sign that Frank Vogel and company want to follow his performances closely… and he just hit hard in his last game.
New personal brand for Mac McClung
With a 117-113 success, the leader can already rejoice, but it is his performance that still makes us dream the most for the future. Journalist Tim Hayes reports his statistics, and it is easy to note that he signs a new career high here.

A great performance from McClung, who had already come close to a triple-double a few days ago for his team. Nothing is done, but if he manages to continue like this, he might get another chance in the NBA. But for that, you need continuity for the young leader.
While waiting to see the rest, we can appreciate its highlights, with in particular a few clutch baskets:
Mac McClung impresses with the South Bay Lakers, claiming a new career high. A great performance for him, and maybe others in the coming weeks. It will take at least that to hope for a return to the NBA.
