Takes seat vs. Pelicans Topic (rest) didn't play in Wednesday's 95-81 Summer League win over the Pelicans.

Impact Topic entered Wednesday with five Summer League outings under his belt this year, so it's possible the Thunder wanted to give him the night off. While the 2024 first-rounder doesn't appear likely to handle a significant role for the defending-champion Thunder to begin the 2025-26 season, Topic has flashed some two-way ability with averages of 10.8 points, 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game over his five appearances this summer.

Impact Topic found more of a rhythm Thursday, knocking down a pair of threes after struggling with his shot earlier in Summer League play, including a combined 5-for-25 from the field and 0-for-11 from three over games Monday and Tuesday. The Thunder appear committed to giving the young guard extended run this summer as they assess the kind of role he might carve out within the team's rotation for the 2025-26 season.

Mixed bag in SL win Topic totaled 11 points (2-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five assists, three rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes in Monday's 89-78 Summer League win over the 76ers.

Impact Topic was active in Monday's win, struggling from the field -- including an 0-for-6 mark from three -- but flashing his playmaking ability with five assists and three steals. The guard was selected No. 12 overall by the Thunder in the 2024 NBA Draft but has yet to make his regular-season NBA debut after spending the 2024-25 season rehabbing a torn ACL. Viewed as a versatile prospect with intriguing upside as a playmaker, the team hopes Topic can find his rhythm in Summer League and earn a role in the rotation for the 2025 season and beyond.

Impact Topic, who missed the entire 2024-25 season recovering from a partially torn ACL, started this contest for his first live action in a Thunder uniform. Selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Topic slid on draft night because of his health, and now he's looking to reward the Thunder for their patience. The 6-foot-6 guard has intriguing playmaking skills, but the Thunder will bring him along slowly. When you factor in Oklahoma's deep rotation as well, it's wise to temper expectations in his true rookie season.
