In March 2012, McDonald was ejected from a game while playing for Petron Blaze Boosters. During an 80–94 loss to Barako Bull Energy, McDonald was ejected for throwing the ball into Mick Pennisi's forehead. The ejection trended on YouTube because of Pennisi's 'delayed flop'.[1][2]
McDonald was drafted 5th overall in the 2019 BIG3 draft by the Ball Hogs. In that year's season, McDonald ranked fourth in scoring and second in rebounding among all players in the league.
