Early years

Teodosić played at the club level for FMP Železnik and Borac Čačak, before he signed with Olympiacos Piraeus in 2007.

Olympiacos B.C.

Teodosić signed a five-year contract with Olympiacos of the Greek League, worth 2.8 million euros net income (after taxes). Olympiacos also had to pay a buyout to FMP Železnik, in order to secure his rights. The contract he signed with Olympiacos included a 1.3 million euros buyout clause amount. However, the contract also stipulated that Olympiacos would hold the right to match any offer made to him by another club that offered to pay his buyout.[1]

In the 2009–10 Euroleague season, Teodosić averaged 13.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, all career highs up to that point. Teodosić played a crucial role in Olympiacos, reaching the Euroleague Final Four, where they eventually lost in the final to Barcelona, after beating Partizan in the semifinal. Teodosić was voted onto the All-Euroleague First Team, and on May 8, 2010, he was officially announced the Euroleague 2009-10 MVP, his first for his career.

CSKA Moscow

On July 6, 2011, he signed a three-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the Russian League and VTB United League.[2][3] The contract was worth 5.7 million euros net income.[4] In his first season in the Russian club, he led them to Euroleague Final, losing 62-61 to his former club Olympiacos. He was named to the All-Euroleague Second Team before the start of Final 4.[5]
