Nikola Topic made his long-awaited NBA debut for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday after a battle with cancer. The point guard, 20, was diagnosed with testicular cancer shortly after playing in the team’s first preseason game of the 2025-26 season. That procedure was necessary... to determine if Nikola was dealing with a case of testicular cancer,' the GM said. 'The results of the biopsy have been returned and he is dealing with a case of testicular cancer. He's been in here, he's training, he's working out - through this entire process he's been able to do that.
