Oklahoma City Thunder guard Nikola Topic underwent surgery in Los Angeles to repair a torn ACL, the team announced Wednesday.

Topic, who is expected to miss the 2024-25 season, sustained the injury in April. The 18-year-old was selected by the Thunder with the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft in June.

The 6-foot-5 Serbian guard averaged 18.4 points, 7.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 12 games with Mega of the Adriatic League in 2023-24. He also contributed 14.5, 5.0 and 4.0, respectively, in two games with Crvena zvezda.
