Pops for 13 points off bench McClung contributed 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact After signing a one-year, two-way contract with the Bulls in February, McClung got a chance to show what he's capable of at the NBA level down the stretch. The explosive guard still averaged just 6.0 points, 1.1 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per tilt through eight games for Chicago this season, so McClung is more likely to open next year with a G League club rather than an NBA team.

Remains limited in loss McClung recorded seven points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes during Friday's 127-103 loss to the Magic.

Impact Although McClung has now appeared in six straight games, Chicago still refuses to play him more than about 15 minutes. In contrast, the team continues to prioritize someone like Patrick Williams, who, despite multiple chances, has failed to impress at any point throughout his career. If, for some reason, McClung is handed the keys for the final game of the season, it should at least make for interesting viewing.

Available to play McClung (abdomen) is available for Friday's meeting with the Knicks.

Impact The Bulls' backcourt is healthy for Friday's game, so it could be tough for McClung to get into the rotation. In two appearances for the Bulls this season, McClung has posted averages of 6.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Probable for Friday McClung (abdomen) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Back in rotation Wednesday McClung closed Wednesday's 145-126 loss to the Pacers with eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 11 minutes.

Impact McClung played just his fifth game of the season, and his first in almost two months. Despite the fact that he has been showing out in the G League, McClung has been unable to force his way into the Bulls squad. While it was good to see him out there, managers would need to see a sustained role before considering him.

Off injury report McClung (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact McClung missed the G League Windy City Bulls' regular-season finale due to a right hamstring issue but is set to be available for the parent club against Indiana. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor for Chicago.

FEBRUARY 5 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Lands two-way deal with Chicago McClung (calf) agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls on Thursday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact After being cut loose by the Pacers in early November, McClung caught on with the Bulls' G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. Over 24 games for Windy City, McClung averaged 25.4 points, 7.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 37.4 minutes per contest. He hadn't taken the floor for Windy City since Jan. 28 due to a right calf injury, but McClung is apparently back to full health. Fischer notes that McClung will join the Bulls in Toronto for Thursday's game against the Raptors, and the 27-year-old guard will likely be part of the rotation while Chicago is likely shorthanded after executing several trades in recent days.
