The Orlando Magic continued their roster tweaking by making a set of five moves. Orlando waived Myron Gardner and Tre Scott, who were both recently signed to Exhibit 10 contract. The Magic also signed Mac McClung, Javonte Smart and Ethan Thompson to round out their training camp roster.
McClung was named the MVP of the G League last season. The 25-year-old point guard averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. McClung shot 50% from the field and 38% from behind the arc for the Osceola Magic last season.
Smart started last season on a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. After being waived in late-December, the 6-foot-4 guard played for Crvena zvezda in Serbia. In 22 games, Smart averaged 8.9 points.
Thompson played for the Mexico City Capitanes of the G League last season. In 49 games, Thompson averaged 22.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
McClung, Smart and Thompson are expected to compete with Jalen Slawson for the Magic’s two open two-way spots.
