In the 2008–09 season, he averaged 9.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game for Triumph Lyubertsy. In March 2011, he was sent on a loan from Khimki Moscow Region to Krasnye Krylya, until the end of the season.[1]

Dmitriev was also a member of the senior Russian national team. He was named to Russia's 2009 EuroBasket team, and he saw action in two games with the team.[3] Although the Russians finished a disappointing seventh in that tournament, they were later awarded a wild card to the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
