Professional career

He started playing basketball in the Zadar youth selections, but was not recognized as a perspective talent a decided to move to Zagreb. Alongside teammates Dario Šarić and Mario Hezonja, he won the 2011 Euroleague Basketball Nike International Junior Tournament.

His role in the team changed in December 2014 following the departure of team's then starting point guard Jerel Blassingame, and Mavra started spending much more time on the court. He started the 2015/16 season with a considerable amount of time on court, but with the arrival of James Florence and new head coach Damir Mulaomerović Mavra was sided to the bench and in December 2015 decided to move to the Polish MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza where Dražen Anzulović was head coach.{{cite web| url = http://crosarka.com/transferi/dominik-mavra-napustio-cibonu-126708| title = Dominik Mavra napustio Cibonu| date = 2015-12-29| language = Croatian| publisher = crosarka.com| access-date = 2015-12-30| archive-date = 2015-12-29| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151229171344/http://crosarka.com/transferi/dominik-mavra-napustio-cibonu-126708| url-status = dead}}
