Magic Withdraw Mac McClung’s Qualifying Offer

The Magic have withdrawn their two-way qualifying offer to guard Mac McClung, making him an unrestricted free agent, per Keith Smith of Spotrac (Twitter links).

According to Smith, Orlando pulled McClung’s QO to give him a chance to pursue other opportunities without being a RFA. The Magic have a crowded backcourt and McClung didn’t have an obvious path to playing time, Smith adds.

Jason Beede of The Orlando Sentinel confirms the news (via Twitter).

McClung spent all of last season on a two-way deal with Orlando but only made two brief NBA appearances. In 44 combined appearances with the NBA G League’s Osceola Magic, he averaged 23.0 points, 5.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .481/.344/.828.

The 26-year-old guard was named first-team All-NBAGL in 2024/25 after winning G League MVP in ’23/24. McClung is most well known for winning the past three NBA dunk contests.

Even though he has only played in six games, McClung has three years of NBA experience, having made previous stops with the Bulls, Lakers and Sixers. He is eligible for a two-way deal for one more season.

Ethan Thompson is currently the only player on a two-way deal with Orlando, so the team has a pair of two-way openings.
