Oklahoma City Thunder guard Nikola Topic is undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the team announced Thursday.
“He has a tremendous group of oncologists … and they are extremely positive about his outlook, in dealing with the situation,” Thunder General Manager Sam Presti told reporters at the team’s practice facility, several hours before a home game against the Washington Wizards.
