McClung Finds New Home Just Days After Warriors Cut Him Loose

It was an unpopular decision when the Golden State Warriors decided to cut loose the high-flying 6'2" guard Mac McClung this past week. But it didn't take him long to find a new gig. The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly signing McClung to an Exhibit 10 contract. 

Per source, Mac McClung will sign an Exhibit-10 contract with the Sixers. It is expected that he will play for the Delaware Blue Coats this season.

Although McClung will temporarily join the Sixers at camp, it's expected that he'll start the season with their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. 

McClung is known for his aerial displays and highlight-reel dunks, like the one he dropped for the Warriors in pregame warmups during their time in Tokyo earlier this month. 

If you didn’t already believe this was the year, this should absolutely do the trick!

For those who don’t remember, Mac McClung has one of the craziest high school mixtapes of all time.

The 23-year-old strutted his in-game stuff last season in the G League, averaging 21.5 points, 7.5 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 27 games. 

In the Warriors' second game in Tokyo, he came off the bench to spark a 4th-quarter comeback with nine points on 4-of-6 shooting, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 12 minutes.

McClung been a fan favorite wherever he's gone, even in the shortest of stints (like the one game and 22 minutes with the Los Angeles Lakers last season:)
