Orlando Magic signed Mac McClung to an Exhibit 10 contract, an agreement that can be converted into a two-way deal
Training camp deals are one-year, minimum-salary contracts. An Exhibit 10 contract can be converted into a two-way deal before the regular season begins. McClung will spend most of his time with the Osceola Magic, Orlando’s G League affiliate.
McClung went undrafted out of Texas Tech University in 2021. The 6-foot-2 guard joined the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2021 NBA Summer League and went on to sign a contract on Aug. 10, 2021. However, he was waived a few months later.
