Dimitrios Mavroeidis (alternate spellings: Dimitris, Mavroidis) (Greek: Δημήτρης Μαυροειδής; born July 4, 1985) is a Greek former professional basketball player and currently the team manager for AEK Athens of the Greek Basket League and the Basketball Champions League. During his career as a player, he stood at 2.12 m (6 ft 11 1⁄2 in)[1][2][3] tall and covered the center position.

Professional career

Mavroeidis began his professional career with the Greek League club Peristeri in 2002. He moved to Panionios in 2005. He signed with Maroussi in 2007. In 2010, he joined the Spanish ACB League club Bilbao Basket.[4]

In 2012, he joined the EuroLeague club Olympiacos.[5] With Olympiacos, he won the 2012–13 championship of the EuroLeague.

He moved to Nea Kifissia in 2014.[6] During the first round of the 2014–15 Greek Basket League, he was voted as the MVP of the week's first round of the Greek Basket League.

On November 9, 2015, Mavroeidis signed with AEK Athens, until the end of the season.[7][8] On November 11, Mavroeidis made his debut with AEK against Neptūnas in the EuroCup, scoring 4 points, and grabbing 3 rebounds, in his team's 80–86 win. After the departure of Loukas Mavrokefalidis from AEK on August 27, 2016, the team renewed Mavroeidis' contract for one more season.[9]

On August 9, 2017, AEK re-signed Mavroeidis for his third season with the club.[10] With AEK, he won the 2018 Final of the Greek Cup and the FIBA 2017–18 Basketball Champions League.

Mavroeidis spent the 2018-19 campaign with Kolossos Rodou, before returning once more to AEK to finish out his career.

He started out the 2021–22 season in an ancillary role, before stepping up after a series of injuries for the team, as well as the tragic passing of Stevan Jelovac. In 21 league games, he averaged 5.9 points and 4.4 rebounds, playing around 15 minutes per contest. During the 2022-2023 season, Mavroeidis appeared in only 1 league game due to a series of injuries and health issues, scoring 4 points in 4 minutes of playing time.

On May 5, 2023, AEK Athens announced that Mavroeidis was going to retire from professional basketball and would remain on the club as team manager.
