Pacers Sign McClung to Non-Guaranteed Multiyear Deal

News summary

The Indiana Pacers signed guard Mac McClung to his first standard multiyear NBA contract — a non‑guaranteed deal the team announced Monday — and waived former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to open a roster spot. McClung is a three‑time consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion, has played just six career NBA games and was a G League scoring leader last season with the Osceola Magic (roughly 23–26 points and about 5–6 assists per game). The move arrives as Indiana’s backcourt is depleted, with Tyrese Haliburton out for the season with an Achilles injury and several other guards sidelined, giving McClung a chance to provide scoring and energy. Wiseman, who recently returned from an Achilles tear, will now look for opportunities elsewhere.
