Historic NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion and two-time NBA G League MVP Mac McClung is drawing serious interest from EuroLeague clubs and teams across Europe, BasketNews sources tell.
According to sources, the 27-year-old guard is increasingly likely to continue his career in Europe after spending the past several seasons pursuing a full-time NBA opportunity.
Multiple EuroLeague clubs have expressed interest in signing McClung, per BasketNews sources.
McClung enters the market following a historic 2025-26 G League campaign with the Windy City Bulls.
The explosive 1.88-meter guard averaged 29.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.6 assists while shooting 51% from the field and 38% from three-point range, earning his second consecutive NBA G League MVP award.
With that achievement, McClung became the first player in G League history to win multiple MVP awards.

Against the College Park Skyhawks, McClung erupted for 54 points, the fifth-highest scoring game in G League history at the time.
He later surpassed his own mark by scoring a career-high 59 points against the Birmingham Squadron, producing the third-highest scoring performance the league has ever seen.
