The Philadelphia 76ers have a representative in the 2023 NBA Dunk Contest for the first time since 2006. Earlier this week, the league officially confirmed the four participants in this year’s event, which included the two-way guard Mac McClung.

When it was first reported that McClung had accepted the invitation to participate in the contest, he was signed with the Sixers’ NBA G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. Therefore, McClung was set to make history by becoming the first-ever G League player to participate in the competition.

With McClung inking a two-way contract with Philly, he’ll don Sixers threads for the first time this weekend, and becomes Philadelphia’s first Dunk Contest representative since their former first-round pick, Andre Iguodala.

McClung joins several former Sixers with the honor of participating, including Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse, Tim Perry, Clarence Weatherspoon, Shelton Jones, and Julius Erving.

Rundown of the Rules

Two round competition

Each dunk will be scored from 40 to 50, and the average of the scores from each judge will be the individual dunk score

For each scored dunk in both rounds, each dunker is issued 1:30 plus one additional try to complete one dunk and will be limited to three attempts

Tiebreaker in the first round will be a determination of the judges’ choice

Tiebreaker in the final round would be a one-round dunk-off. If the score isn’t settled with that, the final decision would then be the judges’ choice
