Dejan Todorović (born 29 May 1994) is a Serbian professional basketball player who currently plays for Bilbao Basket of the Liga ACB out on loan from Unicaja.

Professional career

Todorović began his career in the Unicaja's junior team, during the 2011–12 season. In 2012, he was loaned to the Unicaja's reserve team. In 2014, he was loaned to Bilbao Basket.[1]

On March 1, 2015, the basque derby with Baskonia finished with a brawl where he and Tornike Shengelia of Baskonia were disqualified and twelve players were ejected due to court invasion during the fight.[2]

With four seconds left and Bilbao winning by a huge margin, despite the referee's call for a travelling, he was going to dunk when he was hit by Shengelia. After this, the Serbian player pushed Shengelia from behind and the Georgian forward reacted with a punch. After this, all the players who were in the bench came into the court and started the brawl. When Shengelia was leaving the court after the disqualifying foul, he apologized to a child who was in the first row of the arena.[3]

The ACB announced this brawl would have severe consequences and sanctions and would talk with the Spanish Basketball Federation for changing the disciplinary regulations.[4] On March 5, the league provisionally suspended Todorović and Shengelia until the final resolution of the case.[5]

Both clubs claimed to have the same sanctions than in 2004, when the brawl Real Madrid and Estudiantes occurred.[6] Finally, on March 11, the Disciplinary Judge accorded to suspend Tornike Shengelia for five games, him for four and a €3,000 fine to Bilbao Basket player Dairis Bertāns and to Baskonia brothers Mamadou and Ilimane Diop.[7]

In 2015, he signed a new two-year contract extension with Unicaja and he was loaned to Bilbao Basket.[8]
