[Almanza] Nikola Topić has been assigned to the Thunder’s G League affiliate and will play tonight for the OKC Blue against Sioux Falls, the Miami Heat’s affiliate.
His first game since being diagnosed with testicular cancer.

He’s actually playing right now and doing really well. Incredible how quickly he went from chemotherapy to being ramped up enough for professional basketball
All the power to him…fk cancer
Fk cancer with lots go strngulation and BD$M
I think being younger helps, i am very happy for him
I hope he balls out.
He can only ball* out now
What a G
Will be a big boost to Okc bench already adding McCain
No joke, agree. We lack ballhandlers right now - and anyone who can run an offense would be a godsend at this point
Hasn’t played a single NBA game but his raw playmaking ability is absurd. The passes he threw in summer league were unbelievable
Rooting for this guy!
In his limited games during summer league, you could tell he was going to ball out in the league. Then having to deal with a torn acl and the cancer diagnosis was brutal. Really rooting for him. Deserves a real shot at showing how good he is.
How appropriate is it for me to make a “ball” based pun
Shit he beat it, I’d say fire away.
Just like his balls are going to, now that they’re at 100%
Ball*
Next time he catches a pass, he might start checking the basketball for lumps
You telling me to those bumps I feel on the ball aren’t normal?
Awesome to see
Damn them balls healed quick!! God bless
Hell yeah i love to see this. Hope he goes off for 50.
I’m so happy to hear this. Dudes been through a lot
