Oklahoma City Thunder prospects shine in Summer League despite 2024 pick Nikola Topic sitting out with injury.

Nikola Topic, the Oklahoma City Thunder's 2024 first-round pick, made a strong Summer League debut against the Memphis Grizzlies, scoring 14 points despite sitting out the 2024-25 season due to an ACL injury. Meanwhile, 2025 draft pick Brooks Barnhizer showed potential as a versatile "glue guy," collecting a game-high 13 rebounds and demonstrating his mid-range shooting. Undrafted rookies Mady Sissoko and Chris Youngblood also impressed, suggesting they could earn spots on the Thunder's G League roster.
