Orlando Magic two-way guard Mac McClung committed to participating in the Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend 2025.

Magic guard Mac McClung will reportedly compete in the Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, California.

It is starting to feel egregious, though, that McClung continues to participate without a roster spot in the NBA. Currently signed to a two-way deal for the Orlando Magic, the 26-year-old former undrafted free agent has played just five minutes in the NBA so far this season.

Mac McClung, a two-time NBA Slam Dunk champion, has committed to the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest at next month’s All-Star weekend in San Francisco.

Mac McClung will compete against Bucks second-year player Andre Jackson Jr., Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis and Spurs rookie Stephon Castle.

Mac McClung will return to the NBA's slam dunk contest, he confirmed Monday on social media. The Orlando Magic two-way player won the event in 2023 and 2024.

For the second year in a row, the NBA All-Star Game will not feature a player from the Chicago Bulls. Zach LaVine — a two-time All-Star in 2021 and ’22 — was passed over Thursday for a reserve spot in the Eastern Conference despite ranking 10th in the East in scoring (24 points per game) and shooting 51.
