On November 9, 2015, Mavroeidis signed with AEK Athens, until the end of the season.[7] [8] On November 11, Mavroeidis made his debut with AEK against Neptūnas in the EuroCup, scoring 4 points, and grabbing 3 rebounds, in his team's 80–86 win. After the departure of Loukas Mavrokefalidis from AEK on August 27, 2016, the team renewed Mavroeidis' contract for one more season.[9]
