Draža Mihailović Cup

The Draža Mihailović Cup (DMC) is an annual Australian basketball tournament for basketball clubs with Serb ethnic affiliation. The first edition of the tournament held in 1993, it has steadily grown to encompass clubs from across the country.[1]

KK Otpisani Melbourne recently won the 2023 (30 years) rendition of the tournament in Melbourne, defeating 2022 champions Sydney Obilic for their maiden DMC title. Star KK Otpisani shooting guard Milan Savic, who previously played with the Keillor Thunder and Ballarat Miners in Youth League and NBL1, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The tournament is named after Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović, who led the first European uprising against Nazi Germany in World War II.
