  • Mac McClung returns to NBA slam dunk contest eyeing 3-peat


    Reigning two-time NBA slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung will compete in this year’s event at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, sources tell ESPN.

    McClung, who signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic in October, will look to claim the first dunk contest three-peat.

    The return of McClung means the four-man field is set. McClung will compete against San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis and Milwaukee Bucks second-year player Andre Jackson Jr.

    The 6-foot-2 McClung dunked over 7-foot-1 Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal last year in Indianapolis to become the fifth player in NBA history to win back-to-back dunk contests.

    No player has ever won three consecutive dunk contests, though Nate Robinson is a three-time champion.

    A guard, McClung led the G League in scoring with 25.7 points per game in 2023-24, and was named G League MVP for the Osceola Magic.

    McClung, 26, played collegiately for Georgetown and Texas Tech.



    After making a splash in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest for the past two years, Mac McClung is officially making his return to the competition, looking to secure a historic 3-peat victory.

    The high-flying guard has wowed fans and judges alike with his jaw-dropping dunks, showcasing his incredible athleticism and creativity in the air. From windmill jams to between-the-legs slams, McClung has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the dunk contest.

    With his sights set on becoming the first player in recent memory to win three consecutive dunk contests, McClung is preparing to bring his A-game to the court once again. Fans can expect nothing short of electrifying performances and mind-blowing dunks from the talented young player.

    Will Mac McClung be able to make history and secure a 3-peat victory in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest? Stay tuned to find out as the competition heats up and the high-flying action unfolds.

  • Texans vs. Chiefs score, live updates: Kansas City’s road to a 3-peat opens vs. Houston in divisional round


    Inevitable is a word that’s been thrown around about the Kansas City Chiefs throughout this season, as they try to march toward a historic third straight Super Bowl title. They opened 13-0, and their only two losses in the regular season were at Buffalo and at Denver in Week 18 with the No. 1 seed locked up and the starters on the bench.

    They’ve won every way imaginable this season, and while good teams make their own luck, that has some thinking Kansas City might be vulnerable. While playing up — or sometimes apparently down — to its competition isn’t in question, the rust vs. rest argument may come into play. The Chiefs haven’t played a meaningful game in the standings since Christmas Day — a 24-day layoff for the Chiefs’ top players.

    The Texans and Chiefs met in Week 16, on the Saturday before Christmas, a 27-19 K.C. win.

    The Texans were last seen making short work of the Los Angeles Chargers, 32-12 in the wild-card round. Joe Mixon rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown, and C.J. Stroud threw for 282 yards and a score. He and head coach DeMeco Ryans became just the third quarterback-head coach combo — along with Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan (Jets), and Joe Flacco and John Harbaugh (Ravens) — to win playoff games in their first two NFL seasons together. A Texans upset would mean the first AFC championship game appearance in franchise history.

    Partly cloudy skies and cold temperatures are expected for Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, with kickoff temps expected around 20 degrees and potentially dropping into the teens as the sun goes down.

    • C.J. Stroud limping

      C.J. Stroud limped off the field after being tackled by George Karlaftis, perhaps with an ankle injury. He’s getting checked out on the sideline, but appears to be all right.

    • Field goal: Texans 3, Chiefs 3

      After a 13-yard pass from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins gave Houston a 1st-and-10 at the Chiefs’ 14-yard line, the Texans’ drive stalled.

      Joe Mixon ran for no gain, followed by an incomplete pass from Stroud and a two-yard scramble.

      Ka’imi Fairbairn ties the game with a 30-yard field goal.

    • Chiefs’ Trent McDuffie to the medical tent

      Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie was shaken up while tackling Joe Mixon on 2nd-and-5. He came out of the game and went to the blue medical tent to get checked out.

      However, McDuffie is now back in the game after missing five plays.

    • Stroud to Schultz for 34 yards

      Houston gets an explosive play on its opening drive with C.J. Stroud hitting Dalton Schultz for a 34-yard pass. That moves the Texans to the Kansas City 35-yard line.

    • Field goal: Chiefs 3, Texans 0

      The Texans’ defense holds after that big kickoff return by the Chiefs. Isiah Pacheco loses a yard on his first carry, then Patrick Mahomes throws two incomplete passes.

      Kansas City has to settle for a field goal and Harrison Butker kicks a 32-yarder for a 3–0 lead.

    • Eventful opening kickoff

      Houston won the coin toss and will defer to the second half. So the Chiefs’ offense will take the field first.

      Nikko Remigio returned the kickoff 63 yards for Kansas City, but fumbled while being tackled by Kris Boyd. Samaje Perine recovered for the Chiefs.

      Boyd was then flagged 15 yards for taking of his helmet, giving the Chiefs the ball at Houston’s 13-yard line. He followed that blunder up with a shove of special teams coach Frank Ross. What a start, Houston.

    • National anthem hitting Chris Jones in the emotions

      Lanell Lightfoot’s rendition of the national anthem before kickoff got Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones feeling his emotions.

    • Will Mahomes be rusty?

      A big storyline early on will be whether or not Patrick Mahomes is rusty after a long layoff — 23 days, to be exact.

    • Chiefs defeated Texans in Week 16

      The Chiefs and Texans played during the regular season in Week 16 and Kansas City won, 27–19.

      Patrick Mahomes passed for 260 yards and one touchdown, completing 28-of-41 passes. Xavier Worthy caught seven passes for 65 yards and a score. Kareem Hunt had 11 carries for 55 yards and a TD. Mahomes also ran for a TD.

      For Houston, C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-39 passes for 244 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. Tank Dell notched six receptions for 98 yards and a TD. Joe Mixon rushed for 57 yards on 14 carries.
