Out for at least four weeks Topic will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing testicular surgery Monday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Topic missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL, and now the start of his 2025-26 campaign will be delayed. He was in the running to be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's top backup at point guard, so Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso will all be tasked to help pick up the slack in the backcourt while Topic is out of action.

Nikola Topic only needed one preseason game to put the NBA on notice Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Nikola Topic just showed the NBA how scary the team truly is with all of its upside considered.
OCTOBER 6, 2025 • THUNDEROUSINTENTIONS.COM
Fares well in start Topic logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes of Sunday's 135-114 preseason win over the Hornets.
Impact With the Thunder resting their starters to open the preseason, Topic started at point guard and fared really well. Topic missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL, so the fact that he was able to log 31 minutes Sunday suggests that the Thunder feel confident in his recovery. Topic is the favorite to back up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this season.
OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Topic will start in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
Impact With the team resting its usual starters, Topic will get the starting nod in Oklahoma City's preseason opener. The 20-year-old missed the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, but he has a chance to carve out a meaningful role off the bench this season.
