Thunder's Nikola Topic undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer
Thunder guard Nikola Topic began chemotherapy treatment for a testicular cancer diagnosis. Oklahoma City organization provided full support as 20-year-old focuses on recovery.
Oklahoma City Thunder player Nikola Topić has been diagnosed with testicular cancer, general manager Sam Presti said.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Oct. 30, Presti revealed that Topić, 20, had a biopsy earlier this month that led to his diagnosis, and has since begun chemotherapy treatments.
"He had a testicular procedure at the very beginning of training camp," Presti told reporters, calling the procedure "necessary" for Topić's biopsy.
"The results of the biopsy have returned and he is dealing with a case of testicular cancer," Presti confirmed.
The Thunder's general manager said Topić has "a tremendous group of oncologists" working on his treatment, "and they are extremely positive about his outlook in dealing with this situation." Presti added that it's "important to note that testicular is the most cured form of cancer among males."
Presti said that Topić wanted to wait to share his diagnosis until after he started chemotherapy. "He didn't want to make this information public until he had begun the actual treatments, which he has recently," said the general manager.
Amid treatments, Topić has remained active. "He's been in here, he's training, he's working out," Presti shared, adding that the team is placing "no expectations" on their player to return to the court before he's ready. "
