Professional career
After playing basketball at the Greek minor league and amateur levels with Filathlitikos, from 2008 to 2012, Gikas started his pro career in 2012, with Filathlitikos in the Greek 2nd Division. During the seasons that Gikas played at Filathlitikos, he played with players such as Giannis Antetokoumpo, Thanasis Antetokoumpo, Michalis Kamperidis, and Christos Saloustros, during the club's peak years. During the 2012–13 season, Gikas almost gained a league promotion with Filathlitikos, but at the end of the season, the club finished in 3rd place in the Greek 2nd Division, just missing the league promotion to the Greek 1st Division.
Gikas moved to the Greek 1st Division club Aris, in 2013. During the two years he played at Aris, his numbers dropped, due to the limited playing time he had with the club. On 15 January 2015, after leaving Aris, Gikas signed with the Baltic League club Ventspils. With Ventspils, he led the 2014–15 Baltic Baltic League in assists per game, and was one of the key players of the team.
He spent the 2015–16 season with the Greek club Nea Kifissia. On July 17, 2016, Gikas signed a two-year deal with the Greek club Promitheas Patras. On June 19, 2017, after being one of the best players of Promitheas in the 2016–17 season, he renewed his contract with the club for two more years.
