Sports agent Mi\u0161ko Ra\u017enatovi\u0107, in a New Year’s interview with TV Arena Sport, shared the latest optimistic details regarding Topi\u0107\u2019s condition, confirming he has been in close contact with the player.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Chemotherapy has been completed positively<\/strong>, and he is now joining the training process. Although, he was doing certain activities even during the therapy. It\u2019s hard to give a specific timeframe for his return. I sincerely hope that he will have some minutes this year\u2014not just in the G League<\/strong>, but on NBA courts<\/strong> as well, if everything proceeds as it looks right now,” Ra\u017enatovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building Character Through Adversity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Serbian agent believes that these challenges will ultimately strengthen Topi\u0107 as he continues his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The illness and everything that happened is difficult for anyone. Especially when it occurs so unexpectedly to someone who is only 20 years old<\/strong> and who already missed the previous year due to a serious knee injury<\/strong>. Nikola endured it all; he is on the road to recovery… If he stays healthy, and I believe he will be, everything that happened in the past two years will only help him develop a world-class character. If he managed to defeat these two things, nothing after this will be difficult or unattainable,” Ra\u017enatovi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
