It was quite a Valentine’s Day for Mac McClung. He was signed to a two-way contract by the Sixers and, hours later, was named as one of the four participants in this year’s Slam Dunk competition during All-Star weekend, according to an NBA press release.
He’ll be joined by the Rockets’ Kenyon Martin Jr., the Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III and the Knicks’ Jericho Sims.
The Skills Challenge will feature a brother act. Team Antetokounmpo, predictably, will include Giannis Antetokounmpo and Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks and Alex Antetokounmpo of the G League’s Wisconsin Herd. Team Jazz will include Jordan Clarkson, Walker Kessler and Collin Sexton. Team Rookies will feature top pick Paolo Banchero of the Magic, as well as the Pistons’ Jaden Ivey, and the Rockets’ Jabari Smith Jr.
The participants in this year’s 3-point contest can be found here.
