Nikola Milutinov
Nikola Milutinov (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Милутинов; born 30 December 1994) is a Serbian professional basketball player for Olympiacos of the Greek Basketball League (GBL) and the EuroLeague. He also represents the Serbian national team in international competition. Standing at 2.13 m (7 ft 0 in), Milutinov plays at the center position.
Milutinov was selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft with the 26th overall pick by the San Antonio Spurs.
Milutinov made his professional debut with the Serbian club Hemofarm, in the 2011–12 season.[citation needed]
In June 2012, Milutinov signed a four-year contract with Partizan of the Adriatic League. In his first season with Partizan, he won the Adriatic League 2012–13 season championship, and the Serbian League 2012–13 season championship. In his second season, he won the Serbian League championship for the second time in a row, after his team defeated Crvena zvezda, with a 3–1 win in the league's finals series.
In the 2014–15 season, following the departure of Partizan starters Dejan Musli and Joffrey Lauvergne, Milutinov's role in the team increased. In a 15 November game against Levski Sofia, he posted a season-high 21 points, and also added 10 rebounds. For that performance, he was selected to the Adriatic League 2014–15 season's ideal five of Round 8 of the competition. On 14 April, in Game 1 of the Adriatic League semifinal series against Crvena zvezda, he hurt the cornea in his right eye, after a collision with Jaka Blažič. He returned to action in the following game, although without the recommendation of the team's medical staff. Eventually, Crvena zvezda won the Adriatic League's finals series over Milutinov's team, Partizan, with a 3–1 series score. Over 28 games played in the Adriatic League that season, Milutinov averaged 9.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.[citation needed]
On 25 July 2015, Milutinov signed a three-year deal with the Greek League club Olympiacos. With Olympiacos, he won the Greek League 2015–16 season championship. He was named the Greek League Most Improved Player in 2017. Milutinov also reached the Euroleague final with Olympiakos in the same year.[citation needed]
In October 2017, he extended his contract with Olympiacos for three more seasons. In the 2017–18 season, Olympiacos was eliminated in the playoff series to Žalgiris Kaunas with 3–1. Milutinov had his best season since coming into the club, and averaged career-highs of 8.8 points and 5.7 rebounds over 29 EuroLeague games.[citation needed]
In 2018–19 season, Milutinov appeared in 28 games of the EuroLeague and averaged new career-highs of 11.7 points and league's second-highest 7.9 rebounds, while shooting 66.3% from the field. In the Greek League, he averaged 10.9 points and 7 rebounds over 24 games.[citation needed]
