Top NBA Draft Prospect Nikola Topic Suffers Partially Torn ACL

The Serbian point guard's injury raises concerns ahead of the NBA Draft, though his agent remains optimistic about his draft stock.

Nikola Topic, projected as a top-10 pick, sustained the injury during the NBA Draft Combine in Italy.
Topic has a history of knee issues, having missed significant time earlier this year due to a similar injury.
He will travel to the U.S. for further evaluation by NBA team doctors to determine the next steps, including potential surgery.
Despite the injury, Topic's agent believes his draft position will remain unaffected due to positive initial medical evaluations.
Topic averaged 18.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, showcasing his high potential as a future NBA point guard.
