Mac McClung, Javonte Smart Sign Training Camp Deals With Magic
Free-agent guards Mac McClung and Javonte Smart have signed training camp deals with the Orlando Magic, along with Ethan Thompson. In a corresponding move, the team waived Myron Gardner and Tre Scott. Smart has appeared in the most NBA games out of the three new signings with 18 appearances across two seasons with three different teams. He most recently played one game for the Philadelphia 76ers last season but averaged 8.9 points per game in 22 games for Crvena Zvezda in Serbia after being waived in December. McClung received MVP honors if the G League last season while playing with the Magic's G-League affiliate. He averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game across 27 games.
The Philadelphia 76ers signed guard Javonte Smart to an Exhibit 10 deal on Sunday. The 24-year-old played for the 76ers throughout the summer league where he averaged 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game across eight appearances. Smart has seen 17 games of NBA action in the 2021-22 season and most recently played in 32 games for the Birmingham Squadron in the G League. Smart will look to battle it out in training camp to get one of the final two-way or bench spots left on the team.
