Return of the Mac: McClung back for dunk 3-peat

Reigning two-time NBA slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung will compete in this year's event at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, sources tell ESPN.

McClung, who signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic in October, will look to claim the first dunk contest three-peat.

The return of McClung means the four-man field is set. McClung will compete against San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis and Milwaukee Bucks second-year player Andre Jackson Jr.

The 6-foot-2 McClung dunked over 7-foot-1 Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal last year in Indianapolis to become the fifth player in NBA history to win back-to-back dunk contests.

No player has ever won three consecutive dunk contests, though Nate Robinson is a three-time champion.

A guard, McClung led the G League in scoring with 25.7 points per game in 2023-24, and was named G League MVP for the Osceola Magic.

McClung, 26, played collegiately for Georgetown and Texas Tech.
