The OKC Thunder has recalled Nikola Topić from the G League, clearing the way for him to make his season debut in a road game against the Los Angeles Clippers at 9:30 p.m. CST Friday.
It’s a big step for Topić, 21, who has faced numerous setbacks to begin his NBA career. After being selected by OKC with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 draft, he missed all of his first season due to a partially torn ACL in his left knee. He was then diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 2025, and he completed chemotherapy in January before playing in 10 games last season.

Topić then underwent a successful minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy procedure in June. He was originally expected to be ready for the start of training camp, but he missed all five of OKC’s preseason games and has yet to play this regular season.
But the Thunder assigned Topić to its G League team, the OKC Blue, on Nov. 7. He averaged 9 points, 2.5 assists, 2 steals and 1 rebound in 14 minutes throughout two games while shooting 57.1% from the field. Now, he has been recalled and is listed as available to play Friday.
Topić will surely have to be eased into things, but minutes should be available when he’s ready. OKC continues to be without Chet Holmgren (right knee injury recovery), Jalen Williams (left ankle surgery), Cason Wallace (left shoulder surgery), Jaylin Williams (low back spasms) and Thomas Sorber (right knee surgery). Ajay Mitchell (left ankle sprain) is also listed as questionable for the Thunder’s game against the Clippers.
OKC (8-4) is looking to snap a two-game skid. It’s in the middle of a four-game road trip, which is its longest of the season.
