Professional career

[edit]

Crvena zvezda (2013–2017)

[edit]

Gudurić grew up with Crvena zvezda youth teams and signed his first professional contract in April 2013.[1] He played two seasons for the Crvena zvezda development team FMP.

On September 30, 2015, Gudurić re-signed for Crvena zvezda to a four-year deal.[2][3] On October 15, 2015, he made his EuroLeague debut against SIG Basket with 6 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 4 steals. One of his best moments was against Real Madrid when he had a crucial dunk to get Crvena zvezda four-point lead one minute before the end of the game on November 27, 2015. On December 18, 2015, Zvezda played a game against Bayern Munich for qualifying in TOP 16 of EuroLeague, Gudurić made some unconventional three-pointers and had 16 points in an amazing comeback win in front of raucous atmosphere in Pionir Hall. On July 5, 2016, he made a three-point buzzer-beater against their biggest rival Partizan in Game 2 of KLS Finals to secure Zvezda 2–0 lead and final result 86–87.

Gudurić started his sophomore season in EuroLeague great with 21 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds to provide a win versus FC Barcelona Lassa in Round 3.

Fenerbahçe (2017–2019)

[edit]

On July 14, 2017, Gudurić signed a four-year contract with Turkish club Fenerbahçe.[4]

In the 2017–18 EuroLeague, Fenerbahçe made it to the 2018 EuroLeague Final Four, its fourth consecutive Final Four appearance. Eventually, they lost to Real Madrid with 80–85 in the final game.[5] Over 36 EuroLeague games, he averaged 6.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, while also having very high shooting percentages.

In the 2018–19 EuroLeague season, Gudurić was among the most valuable roster pieces that brought Fenerbahçe to their fifth consecutive Final Four appearance. However, at the 2019 EuroLeague Final Four, Fenerbahçe lost in the semifinal game to their arch-rivals Anadolu Efes and later again in the third-place game to Real Madrid.[6] Over the season, Gudurić averaged career-high 9.4 points and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 47.7% from three-point territory. In the end of the season, Fenerbahçe lost the Turkish League championship after being defeated with 4–3 in the finals of 2019 BSL Playoffs to Anadolu Efes.[7]

Memphis Grizzlies (2019–2020)

[edit]

On July 31, 2019, Gudurić signed a multi-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA.[8] On October 23, 2019, Gudurić made his debut in NBA, coming off from the bench in a 101–120 loss to the Miami Heat with nine points, two rebounds and two assists.[9] On January 30, 2020, Gudurić was suspended for one game without pay for leaving the bench during an altercation between the Grizzlies and the New York Knicks.[10] On December 15, the Grizzlies waived him.[11]

Return to Fenerbahçe (2020–present)

[edit]

On December 18, 2020, Gudurić signed a contract with Fenerbahçe Beko until the end of the 2022–23 season.[12] On March 4, 2023, he officially renewed his contract through 2026.

National team career

[edit]

Gudurić represented Serbia at the EuroBasket 2017 where they won the silver medal, after losing in the final game to Slovenia.[13]

At the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, the national team of Serbia was dubbed as favorite to win the trophy,[14] but was eventually upset in the quarterfinals by Argentina.[15] With wins over the United States and Czech Republic, it finished in fifth place.[16][17] Gudurić averaged 5.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 7 tournament games. He won the bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics with Serbia.[18]
