Nikola Topic Has Partially Torn ACL In Left Knee 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 5, 2024 5:42 pm

Nikola Topic, a possible top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, has been diagnosed with a partially torn ACL.


Topic suffered a left knee injury in January shortly after his midseason transfer from Mega MIS to Red Star Belgrade, missing four months of Adriatic League action. When Topic returned in late April, he played in three games before injuring the same knee again.


Topic's agent, Misko Raznatovic, told ESPN he does not expect the injury to have a major impact on his draft position.


Topic averaged 18.6 points and 6.9 assists shooting 65% from 2-point range, 29% for 3 and 85% from the free throw line at Mega MIS.

Awful luck for a talented young player.
