Professional career
Bogdanović started playing basketball in Sports Center "25th May". Later, he played for a few Belgrade-based clubs like Beovuk 72, BKK Radnički and Crvena zvezda.

In June 2011, Bogdanović signed a two-year deal with Cajasol Sevilla.[5] In July 2013, he signed a one-year contract with the Turkish club Türk Telekom.[6]
In October 2014, Bogdanović returned to his former club Partizan. He signed an open contract with Serbian champion.[7][8] In January 2015, he left Partizan and signed with BC Andorra of the Liga ACB for the rest of the season.[9] On July 30, 2015, he re-signed with Andorra for one more season.[10]
On August 3, 2016, Bogdanović returned to Joventut, signing a contract for the 2016–17 season.[11]
