Dimitrios Agravanis (also spelled Dimitris; Δημήτρης Αγραβάνης) is a Greek professional basketball player born December 20, 1994, in the Maroussi suburb of Athens. He plays as a tall power forward and can also serve as a center. His basketball journey began at age nine when his father set up a basket at home, and he soon joined the youth academy of local club Maroussi Athens. He made the first team and signed his first professional contract in 2010.
Professional career
Agravanis started his professional career in 2010 with Maroussi Athens of the Greek Basket League. In 2012 he moved to Panionios Athens, where he played in the EuroCup but averaged fewer than seven minutes per game, though he showed promise. The next year he signed a five-year contract with Olympiacos Piraeus, a Greek League and EuroLeague powerhouse. Early in his first season, Olympiacos won the 2013 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
During the 2014–15 season, Olympiacos finished as EuroLeague runners-up after losing to Real Madrid in the final, and also won the Greek League championship by defeating Panathinaikos Athens in the playoffs. That season Agravanis averaged 6.4 points per game in 14.4 minutes in the Greek League and 4.1 points per game in 12.5 minutes in the EuroLeague. He won another Greek League title with Olympiacos in 2016. In late July 2017 he re-signed with the club through summer 2020 on a three-year, €1.4 million net income guaranteed deal.
Promitheas Patras (2019–2022)
On July 24, 2019, Olympiacos waived his contract, making him a free agent after six seasons. He then signed with Greek EuroCup club Promitheas Patras in 2019, averaging 8.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in the 2019–20 EuroCup. He re-signed with the team on July 15, 2020. In the 2021–22 campaign, over 29 Greek domestic league games, he averaged 14 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in about 25 minutes per contest.
On September 27, 2022, Italian A League club Napoli Basket signed him to a monthly contract with a team option for the rest of the season. On October 31, 2022, Napoli and Agravanis mutually parted ways; in five games with Napoli he averaged 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest. On November 4, 2022, he signed a two-year (1+1) contract with Peristeri Athens under head coach Vassilis Spanoulis, but parted ways on January 31, 2023, after averaging 10.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in eight Greek league games.
Panathinaikos (2023)
That same day, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Panathinaikos Athens, a move controversial among fans due to his previous stint with arch-rivals Olympiacos. In four EuroLeague games with Panathinaikos, he averaged 0.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in nine minutes per contest, and in 14 Greek league games he averaged 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 18 minutes. On July 15, 2023, Panathinaikos opted out of the contract, making him a free agent.
Río Breogán (2023)
He signed with Spanish ACB club Río Breogán on September 3, 2023, but mutually parted ways due to injury. On January 15, 2024, he signed with Greek club AEK Athens for the remainder of the season.
On May 30, 2024, he signed with the Hefei Storm of the Chinese NBL. On October 16, 2024, he signed a one-month contract with Neptūnas Klaipėda of the Lithuanian LKL. In January 2025, he signed with Tindastóll of the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla.
National team career
Agravanis suited up for Greece at several youth tournaments, including the 2010 Under-16 European Championship, the 2011 and 2012 Under-18 editions, and the 2013 and 2014 Under-20 competitions. He later earned a spot on the senior Greek roster for the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Turin and played at EuroBasket 2017.
After appearing in qualifiers for the 2022 EuroBasket, he competed in the main tournament that September, posting averages of 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. His standout outing came against Italy, where he recorded 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 blocks in 24 minutes while shooting 5-for-6 from the floor, helping Greece to a win. He also took part in the 2023 World Cup qualifiers.
