Professional career

After being selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1997 NBA Draft (34th pick overall), Milič's rights were traded to the Phoenix Suns.

He also represented Fenerbahçe in the first part of the 1998-99 season, due to the NBA season's lockout, returning to Phoenix in January 1999.
