> Oklahoma City Thunder guard Nikola Topic has begun chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, general manager Sam Presti told reporters Thursday. > Presti said doctors are "extremely positive" about the long-term outlook for Topic, the No. 12 pick in the 2024 draft who sat out last season while recovering from a torn ACL. > Topic underwent a procedure in early October at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to get a biopsy. After receiving the results, he asked the Thunder to not publicly reveal his diagnosis until he had started the chemotherapy treatments, Presti said. My dude can't catch a break.

My dude can't catch a break.How long is he going to be out for? Hopefully they caught it early given he's still so young.

How long is he going to be out for? Hopefully they caught it early given he's still so young.I imagine his biggest impediment is not going to be the treatment but the recovery. Chemo is very rough on the body. Poor guy.
