Three-time reigning NBA slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung is joining the Indiana Pacers on a multi-year deal, ESPN reported on Monday.

McClung, 26, who played in six NBA games from 2021-25, landed his first standard contract with the league, though it's a nonguaranteed contract. In those six games with the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic, McClung averaged 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 12.7 minutes.

Per the report, former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman will be waived by Indiana to open a roster spot for McClung.

Wiseman, 24, made his season debut on Saturday and scored four points in 20 minutes in a 128-103 road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed all but the season opener last season due to an Achilles tear.

McClung, a shooting guard and point guard, will provide backcourt depth with guards Bennedict Mathurin (foot) and Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) listed as day-to-day. Forward Obi Toppin (leg) is also day-to-day.

Indiana is also without point guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring), who is rehabbing from the injury he sustained before the season. All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) will miss the season.
