Career

Mijović began her professional career in 2009 when she joined the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) for the 2009–10 WNBL season. She managed just four games in her first season and went on to sit out the entire 2010–11 season after undergoing a second knee operation.[1] She returned to the AIS line-up in 2011–12 and played out her first full season. She subsequently earned WNBL Rookie of the Year honours after averaging 9.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 18 games.[2]

In May 2012, Mijović signed with the Dandenong Rangers for the 2012–13 WNBL season.[3] In 23 games for Dandenong, she averaged 6.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.[2] During the 2013 off-season, she played for the Kilsyth Cobras.

In June 2013, Mijović signed with the Canberra Capitals for the 2013–14 WNBL season.[4] In 24 games for Canberra, she averaged 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.[2] During the 2014 off-season, she remained in Canberra and continue her development at Basketball Australia's Centre of Excellence.[5]

On 11 June 2014, Mijović signed with the Adelaide Lightning for the 2014–15 WNBL season.[6] In 22 games for Adelaide, she averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.[2] During the 2015 off-season, she played for the Waverley Falcons.

She appeared in all 27 games for the Lynx in 2015–16, averaging 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. She remained in Perth during the 2016 off-season and joined the Kalamunda Eastern Suns of the State Basketball League.[10][11]

Mijović appeared in all 27 games for the Lynx in 2016–17, averaging 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Following her second season with the Lynx, Mijović joined the Frankston Blues for the 2017 SEABL season.[13]
