Professional career
Todorović began his career in the KK Sport Key from Novi Sad in 2009 where he was trained by former basketball player Dragan Lukovski until 2011 when he moved to 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 ended in a brawl that started with a confrontation between Todorović and Tornike Shengelia. Both players were disqualified and 12 players were ejected due to the court invasion that took place during the fight.[2] With mere seconds on the clock and Bilbao leading the game, Shengelia fouled Todorović as the latter attempted a dunk. The Serbian player pushed Shengelia from behind and the Georgian forward threw a punch in response. The exchange prompted the bench players of both teams to enter the court and subsequently started the brawl.
The ACB announced the brawl would have severe consequences and sanctions and initiated talks with the Spanish Basketball Federation to strengthen disciplinary regulations.[3] On March 5, the league provisionally suspended Todorović and Shengelia until the final resolution of the case.[4]
After the cautionary suspension of both players was announced, Bilbao and Baskonia released a joint statement expressing their disapproval.[5] On March 11, Shengelia would finally receive a 5 game suspension while Todorović was suspended for four games. Additionally, Dairis Bertāns of Bilbao Basket and the brothers Mamadou and Ilimane Diop of Baskonia received a €3,000 fine.[6]
In 2015, he signed a new two-year contract extension with Unicaja and he was loaned to Bilbao Basket.[7]
On July 23, 2016, he left Unicaja and signed a three-year contract with Bilbao Basket.[8] Todorović played for Chicago Bulls during the 2017 NBA Summer League.[9]
On August 9, 2018, he signed a one-year deal with UCAM Murcia of the Liga ACB.[10] On July 9, 2019, Todorović signed a one-year deal with MoraBanc Andorra of the Liga ACB.[11]
On July 8, 2020, he has signed with Iberostar Tenerife of the Liga ACB.[12] He tore his ACL on his left knee on September 6, during a friendly game.[13]
On August 11, 2022, he has signed with Covirán Granada of the Liga ACB.[14]
In September 2024, Todorović signed with El Calor de Cancún of the LNBP.[15]
International career
In November 2017, Todorović made his debut for the Serbian national team in the qualification for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.[16] In July 2019, national team head coach Saša Đorđević included him on the preliminary list of 18 players being considered for the final roster for the FIBA World Cup, but following the camp, he was cut from the 14-man squad as the team began its pre-tournament friendlies.[17]
