On Tuesday, McClung exploded for a historic 59 points to lead the Windy City Bulls' 134-133 overtime losing effort against the Birmingham Squadrons.

By dropping the third-highest scoring game of a player in G League history, McClung also etched his name atop the program's all-time scoring list from the Tip-Off Tournament, regular season and playoffs combined.

He went ballistic with 19-of-34 shooting with eight three-pointers, further dishing out 10 assists across 42 minutes of play.

McClung established himself as one of the most renowned two-way contract players in the NBA. Upon beginning his professional career as an undrafted sensation in 2021, the 27-year-old made stops in the Lakers, 76ers, Magic and the Pacers before ultimately reuniting with the Bulls this year.

The three-time NBA Dunk Contest champion is a 2023 G League champion and the league's Most Valuable Player award recipient during the 2024-25 season.
