The Philadelphia 76ers have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season, and currently sit as the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 37-19 record in 56 games.     

On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reports that they "plan to sign" Mac McClung out of the G League.     

Via Charania: "The Philadelphia 76ers plan to sign guard Mac McClung on two-way NBA contract out of their G League Delaware Blue Coats affiliate, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. On cusp of his Dunk Contest appearance, McClung gets call up to the NBA." 

To make room, Charania adds that they will waive Julian Champagnie. 

McClung was a well-known college basketball player for Georgetown and Texas Tech.

He went undrafted in 2021 but played in two games for the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers as a rookie. 

During the 2022-23 preseason, the 24-year-old was with the Golden State Warriors but was waived.  

In the G League regular season, he has been excellent, with averages of 19.1 points per contest on 57.9% shooting from the field and 50.0% from the three-point range.

As a two-way player, McClung is definitely worth taking a chance on. 

Meanwhile, Champagnie is a rookie and has played two games for the 76ers.

He's had a solid G League regular season with averages of 14.3 points per contest on 35.2% shooting from the three-point range.

The 76ers will play their next game on Wednesday night when they host Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
