OKC's Nikola Topic makes promising progress after cancer diagnosis

The Serbian talent appeared to be moving well as he participated in OKC's pregame warmups on Thursday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder couldn't be more ecstatic that Nikola Topic is finally making huge progress since his stunning cancer diagnosis.

Thunder reporter Clemente Almanza released footage of the Serbian talent participating in the Oklahoma City Thunder's pregame warmups on Thursday. It can be viewed that Topic is moving well while shooting his own shots.

In late October, the Thunder announced that Topic was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had already begun chemotherapy treatment.

General manager Sam Presti revealed that they are optimistic about the recovery of the 20-year-old, but there's still no clear timetable for his return.

Topic is yet to make his NBA debut since he was drafted No. 12 in last year's NBA Draft. He missed the previous 2024-25 season due to a torn ACL injury.
