Overview

• The Thunder said Topic had a testicular procedure on Monday and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks.
• Based on that window, reports project he will miss roughly the first month of the season, or about 15 games.
• Topic missed all of 2024–25 with a torn ACL, so this setback further delays his regular-season debut.
• He started Sunday’s preseason win over Charlotte and posted 10 points, seven assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes.
• The team expects minimal rotation disruption at guard with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell available, while Kenrich Williams and Thomas Sorber are out and Jalen Williams continues wrist rehab.
