Mac McClung Joins Former Miami Heat Player Derrick Jones Jr. As Undrafted Players To Win Dunk Contest

McClung wins after spending most of the season in the G League

Philadelphia 76ers guard Mac McClung became the second undrafted player to win the slam dunk contest during NBA All-Star weekend. 

He joined former Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr., who won it in 2020 in Chicago. McClung spent most of the season playing in the G League. 

"I'm super grateful for this opportunity," McClung said. "I think a lot of guys in the G League probably deserve this light that I just got. I'm very appreciative and I hope I represented well for them, and I really appreciate the NBA giving us this opportunity."

Heat guard Tyler Herro wasn't as fortunate in the 3-point competition. He did not advance past the first round. Herro was dealing with a knee injury that caused him to miss the final two games before the break, so it could have impacted his performance.
