Second-year guard Nikola Topić made his NBA debut Thursday night when he took the floor for the Thunder against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Topić was the 12th pick in last year’s NBA draft out of Serbia, but missed the entirety of last season with a torn ACL. Before the regular season, it was announced he would miss the start of the year after undergoing a testicular procedure. Weeks later, Thunder general manager Sam Presti informed reporters that Topić had begun chemotherapy treatments after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
