Thunder Rookie Nikola Topić Completes Chemotherapy, Returning to Training
No timetable has been set for his debut, with a G League assignment viewed as a possible step.
Overview
- Agent Miško Ražnatović said chemotherapy was successfully completed and that Topić is re-entering the training process.
- Topić stayed active during treatment, participating in team workouts and recent pregame on-court warmups.
- A return date has not been determined, though his agent expressed hope he could earn minutes this season, potentially with the Oklahoma City Blue before the NBA.
- The Thunder announced in October 2025 that a biopsy at MD Anderson confirmed testicular cancer, and team officials voiced confidence in chemotherapy as a curative approach.
- The 20-year-old guard, drafted No. 12 in 2024, missed last season following left ACL surgery and has yet to make his NBA debut.
