[Charania] The Indiana Pacers are signing guard Mac McClung to a multiyear contract, Greg Lawrence of Wasserman tells ESPN. The deal marks the first standard NBA contract for McClung, after the dunk contest's first-ever three-peat champion spent time on camp and two-way deals since 2021.

The Pacers plan to waive center James Wiseman to create roster space for McClung, who will sign a non-guaranteed multiyear deal, sources said. Indiana is dealing with several key injuries to their guards and wings to start the season.

  4. I always thought he was overrated in HS and college but I honestly respect him for the grind. He could have went to Europe or China and made a good amount of money because of his popularity but instead stuck with the G-league.

    Just imagine telling someone in 2020 that 5 yrs from now a team would waive James Wiseman in order to make roster room for Mac McClung

  10. Feel bad for Wiseman, but having four centers right now doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when we just need someone to play guard lol

  11. Man, this season is wild compared to last year. Let’s fast forward to when Ty is healthy.

  22. Pacers always try to pick up someone fun to watch on a busted year.

    In case of emergency, sign Lance Stephenson

  24. Mac about to become TJ McConnell’s understudy. Get ready to learn backcourt steals and 6 foot jump shots buddy

  25. Love this. Fuck the NBA for trotting him out like a pony every dunk contest but refusing to give him an actual contract.
