I hope he can recover and enjoy a healthy life and also general sexual health. Getting back to the court would be amazing, obviously.

Poor kid. Sounds like they're extremely positive about the outlook.

Nene had this too, I believe. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Man what an unlucky guy he is. Tears his ACL before the draft and now this, after rehabbing for a year. Hope he has a good recovery and can get back to the court in the near future

Feel terrible for him. I actually noticed his face when they announced him on opening night for the ring ceremony. I thought he looked kind of somber. Wonder if he knew then.

Wait didnt he get hit in the ''nuts'' and needed surgery like Manu?
And then they find out he has cancer?
Holy hell

That's probably how the cancer was detected. God works in mysterious ways.

Hoping Nikola will get well soon!

I have a friend who lost one ball 20 years ago and now has a prosthetic replacement. Still got a kid and lives a normal life.

I'd pray for your balls too, man. I want everyone to be healthy and have a good chance at a safe and comfortable life.

Heal up, Nikola Topic! Hope this is a brief chapter for him and we get to see his incredible pick & roll playmaking at the NBA level.
