Overview
- BasketNews reported Thursday, a development relayed by Heavy and HoopsRumors, that multiple EuroLeague clubs have shown serious interest in free agent Mac McClung though no contract has been announced.
- McClung closed the 2025–26 season as the NBA G League’s leading scorer and its MVP after averaging 31.8 points per game, and the league credited him with 5,335 career points when it announced the record.
- His most recent NBA opportunities were brief: McClung appeared in 11 NBA games last season, averaged about 6.1 points, had a short standard deal with Indiana and a two-way with Chicago, and officially became a free agent this July after the Bulls renounced their free-agent exception rights.
- McClung previously turned down sizable overseas offers while staying available for NBA call-ups, so a move to Europe would mark a clear change in his career plan and offer more stable minutes and pay against veteran competition.
- The next steps to watch are which EuroLeague club signs him and the contract terms, because a prominent role in Europe could raise his profile internationally while making an immediate NBA return less likely in the short term.
