Hemofarm

Milutinov made his professional debut with the Serbian club Hemofarm, in the 2011–12 season.

Partizan Belgrade

In June 2012, Milutinov signed a four-year contract with Partizan Belgrade of the Adriatic League. In his first season with Partizan, he won the Adriatic League 2012–13 season championship, and the Serbian League 2012–13 season championship. In his second season, he won the Serbian League championship for the second time in a row, after his team defeated Crvena zvezda, with a 3-1 win in the league's finals series.

2014–15 season

In the 2014–15 season, following the departure of Partizan starters Dejan Musli and Joffrey Lauvergne, Milutinov's role in the team increased. In a November 15 game against Levski Sofia, he posted a season-high 21 points, and also added 10 rebounds. For that performance, he was selected to the Adriatic League 2014–15 season's ideal five of Round 8 of the competition. On April 14, in Game 1 of the Adriatic League semifinal series against Crvena zvezda, he hurt the cornea in his right eye, after a collision with Jaka Blažič. He returned to action in the following game, although without the recommendation of the team's medical staff. Eventually, Crvena zvezda won the Adriatic League's finals series over Milutinov's team, Partizan, with a 3–1 series score. Over 28 games played in the Adriatic League that season, Milutinov averaged 9.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
