Professional career

Dubljević started his career in 2009, with Lovćen Cetinje, and he played from 2010 to 2012, with Budućnost Podgorica, before signing with the Liga ACB team Valencia Basket, on a three-year contract.[4] In his first season at Valencia, Dubljević was named the EuroCup 2012–13 season Rising Star of the Year.[5]

In June 2013, he extended his contract with Valencia Basket through the 2015–16 season. The contract included an NBA buyout clause, in the original amount of 1 million euros. The buyout amount, however, decreased to 200,000 euros in the summer of 2015.[6] In 2017, he won his first Liga ACB championship with Valencia, after beating Real Madrid 1–3 in the finals. Dubljević displayed a strong loyalty to Valencia. In 2018, he referred to playing for the club as his "dream" over going to the NBA.[7]

On June 30, 2023, Dubljević amicably parted ways with the Spanish club after eleven whole seasons together and on July 10, he signed with Zenit Saint Petersburg of the VTB United League.[8] Dubljević left Valencia as the club's all-time leader in points and rebounds.[9]

On 2 July 2024, Dubljević signed with Casademont Zaragoza of the Liga ACB.[10]

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Dubljević in the 2013 NBA draft, at 59th overall.[11] In 2019, his draft rights were traded to the Portland Trail Blazers.[12] On February 9, 2023, Dubljević's draft rights were traded to the New York Knicks in a four-team trade involving the Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Hornets.[13]
