Mac Mcclung Scores 54, Sets Windy City Single-Game Record
mac mcclung scored a career-high 54 points for the Windy City Bulls in a 127-126 overtime loss to the College Park Skyhawks, establishing a new single-game scoring record for the Windy City franchise. The output also ranks as the third-highest scoring performance in G League history and sharpens the narrative around his season-long scoring pace.
Mac McClung 54-Point Night
In that game McClung finished 18-of-34 from the field, including 9-of-18 from three-point range, and was a perfect 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, while adding seven rebounds, 10 assists and one block. He poured in 26 points and six three-pointers in the opening quarter and recorded his seventh double-double of the season in the 127-126 overtime loss to the College Park Skyhawks. The pattern suggests this was not a fluke scoring surge but a highly efficient, all-around performance on both ends of the floor.
Windy City Franchise Record
That single-game mark now stands as the Windy City franchise record and places McClung among the G League’s elite single-night performers, trailing only Jordan McRae’s 58 and Alondes Williams’ 55 in league history. The figures point to a historically significant night for the Windy City Bulls franchise and a milestone that elevates McClung’s profile within the league.
G League Historical Rank
Across 33 games with Chicago’s affiliate this season, mac mcclung is averaging a career-high 27. 9 points per game while shooting 51. 3% from the field and 37. 1% from three. He has topped 30 points 14 times this season and had a previous season-high of 42 in November. The data suggest his 54-point outburst is the apex of a sustained scoring run rather than an isolated spike.
McClung’s recent path includes a brief multiyear deal with the Indiana Pacers in late October, where he appeared in three games and averaged 6. 3 points before being waived, and a return to the Bulls organization for a second stint with Windy City. He signed a two-way contract on February 5, which frames how his minutes and opportunities have been allocated between the NBA parent club and the G League affiliate.
On the season McClung sits at 922 points, tied for the second-highest total in the league alongside Rio Grande Valley’s Daishen Nix, with Houston’s two-way guard Tristen Newton leading at 1, 088 points but having played 10 more games and nearly 300 additional minutes than McClung. He has also become only the third player in G League history to reach 5, 000 career points across the Tip-Off Tournament, regular season and playoffs. The figures point to both a rapid seasonal accumulation and a deeper career scoring resume in the G League.
For now, the specific open question the coverage leaves is whether McClung will reach the 1, 000-point mark for the G League season; at 922 points he is within striking distance, but the context does not confirm a timetable or the distribution of his remaining minutes between Chicago and Windy City.
