Warriors News: Former Lakers G Mac McClung to Play for GSW Summer League Team

After playing against the Golden State Warriors during the California Classic, Mac McClung will be going to the summer league.

McClung is moving to the Warriors from the LA Lakers.

The California Classic was held at Chase Center. In Sunday's 100-77 win over Golden State, he scored nine points on 4-of-5 shooting.

The Texas Tech graduate scored 17 points in 16 minutes in the Lakers' win over the Miami Heat in the first game of the tournament.

He has been in the Lakers organization for the past two years. He was a member of the summer league team. He was released by the team before the start of the season after signing with the team in August.

The South Bay Lakers are a G League team. He signed two 10-day contracts with the Bulls in December and January to fill out a roster with players unavailable because of health and safety protocols.

McClung was assigned to the G League's Windy City Bulls, but he was recalled to the main roster.

After his second 10-day contract with the Bulls expired, McClung returned to South Bay. He was the G League's rookies of the year. In 27 games, he averaged 21.7 points and 6.6 Rebounds.

A two-way contract was signed by the Lakers. He scored six points in 22 minutes off the bench in the regular season finale.

Because there are so few spots available for Golden State's NBA roster, it's hard to see how McClung can make the team. He could be put on the radar of another organization looking for scoring help before the start of the 2022-23 season.
