What are Mac McClung’s contract details with Philadelphia Sixers? Duration, salary, two-way contract, and more
Mac McClung is getting another shot in the NBA. This time, it's as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers.
NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that Mac McClung is expected to sign a two-way NBA contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Under the rules set by the league, two-way players are eligible to be active for up to 50 of their team's 82 regular-season games.
When the two-way contract was established, it was originally set at 45 days. Since then, the league has decided to upgrade it to 50 games instead of days.
Another update for the two-way contract is the salary. McClung will now receive a flat rate of $508,891. That is equivalent to half of the rookie minimum contract. The contract should last for one year, until the Philadelphia 76ers make a decision on whether they want to convert the deal to a full-time contract or choose to go in another direction.
