This will be the second year in a row that McClung joins the Magic in training camp; he was waived in 2023.
McClung spent all of last season in the G League with the Osceola Magic. The 25-year-old guard has appeared in four NBA games during his career but has made a name for himself for his spectacular performances in the Slam Dunk Contest.
McClung took home G League Most Valuable Player honors last season after averaging 25.7 points per game.
