NBA Slam Dunk Star Mac McClung Makes History for Bulls’ Affiliate Mac McClung, the high-flying guard known for his explosive dunking skills, etched his name into the history books of the NBA G League with a record-breaking performance for the Windy City Bulls. The 27-year-old poured in 54 points in a single game, setting a new franchise record for the team. His output also included career highs of 18 field goals made and 9 three-pointers, cementing his status as a standout performer in the developmental league. McClung’s journey through the NBA’s minor leagues has been marked by consistent excellence. After starring at Texas Tech during his final NCAA season, he went undrafted in 2021 and began his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate. The Bulls became the first team to offer him an NBA contract, signing him to a 10-day deal in December 2021, which was later extended to 20 days before expiring without further action. Following his time with the Bulls, McClung joined the Philadelphia 76ers’ affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, where he achieved significant milestones. He won his first Slam Dunk contest as a member of the Sixers and secured his first two-way contract with the team. McClung also claimed his first NBA G League title with the Blue Coats, showcasing his ability to thrive in competitive environments. Since leaving the Sixers, McClung has played for the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers before joining the Windy City Bulls. While his ultimate goal remains to secure a steady role in the NBA, his accomplishments in the G League are undeniable. A three-time Slam Dunk champion, he also holds titles as NBA G League MVP, two-time All-NBA G League First Team member, and scoring champion.#philadelphia_76ers #mac_mcclung #windy_city_bulls #nba_g_league #delaware_blue_coats
Mac McClung Erupts for Career-High Game as Adebayo Drops 83 On Tuesday night, the basketball world turned its attention to Bam Adebayo’s historic 83-point performance for the Miami Heat, but a standout scoring display unfolded in the G League as well. Representing the Chicago Bulls’ G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, McClung delivered a career-high 54 points during a dramatic 127-126 overtime loss to the College Park Skyhawks. The performance set a new franchise record for the Windy City team and ranked as the third-highest scoring game in G League history, behind Jordan McRae’s 58 points in 2016 and Alondes Williams’ 55-point effort in 2024. McClung’s 54-point explosion included a career-best 18-of-34 shooting from the field, 9-of-18 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 5-of-5 at the free-throw line. He also contributed seven rebounds, 10 assists, and one block, recording his seventh double-double of the season while missing a triple-double by just one rebound. The three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion started strong, scoring 26 points and six three-pointers in the first quarter alone as the Windy City Bulls battled College Park in a tightly contested game that required overtime. Through 33 games with the Bulls’ G League affiliate this season, McClung is averaging a career-high 27.9 points per game, alongside 3.2 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.2 steals. His efficiency has been impressive, with a 51.3% shooting rate from the field and 37.1% from three-point range. Despite earning a reputation as an NBA journeyman since entering the league undrafted in 2021, McClung is currently in the best stretch of his career.

Mac McClung Just Scored the Most Points in a Windy City Bulls Game Ever Mac McClung delivered a career-defining performance for the Windy City Bulls, scoring a record 54 points in a game against the College Park Skyhawks on February 5, 2026. The former Georgetown standout poured in 33 points in the first half alone, showcasing his elite shooting ability and playmaking skills. His final line included 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 18 field goals made out of 34 attempts, and 9 three-pointers out of 18. McClung’s efforts helped the Bulls secure a 127-126 overtime victory, marking the highest-scoring game in the G League this season. The 54-point outburst shattered the previous record for the Windy City Bulls, a team known for its competitive spirit in the G League. McClung’s efficiency was staggering, as he maintained a 51.3 percent field goal shooting rate and kept his free throw attempts below five per game. His 54-point game also elevated his season averages to a league-leading 30.2 points per game in 22 appearances, solidifying his status as one of the most dominant players in the league. McClung’s dominance in the G League is no surprise to those who have followed his career.

His 2023 championship with the College Park Skyhawks further underscored his ability to lead teams to success.
