[Stiles] Nikola Topic is set to make his NBA debut tonight

Topic, the 12th overall pick in 2024, missed his rookie season due to an ACL tear, and had missed most of this season while recovering from a testicular cancer diagnosis. Now he is set to make his NBA debut against the Bucks tonight. An incredible story.
