Dejan Todorović ({{lang-sr-cyr|Дејан Тодоровић}}; born 29 May 1994) is a Serbian professional basketball player for Covirán Granada of the Liga ACB.
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.{{cite web|title=Dejan Todorovic llega cedido al Bilbao Basket|url=http://www.acb.com/redaccion.php?id=107061|website=acb.com|language=Spanish|date=September 19, 2015}}
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.[http://www.marca.com/2015/03/02/baloncesto/acb/1425325267.html El acta del partido de la infamia]; Marca, 2 March 2015 {{in lang|es}}

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 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.[http://thebiglead.com/2015/03/02/spanish-basketball-brawl-ends-with-player-apologizing-to-small-child/ Spanish Basketball Brawl Ends With Player Apologizing to Small Child] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150914192904/http://thebiglead.com/2015/03/02/spanish-basketball-brawl-ends-with-player-apologizing-to-small-child/ |date=2015-09-14 }}; The Big Lead, 2 March 2015
