Last season, the 196 cm tall guard played for PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece. He averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in the Greek league, earning a 10.4 efficiency rating. In the FIBA Europe Cup, where PAOK reached the final, Dimša posted similar statistics with 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, achieving a 10.6 efficiency rating.

Dimša also has past experience with Kaunas Žalgiris, playing for them during the 2013-2015 and 2022-2024 seasons. His career also includes stints in Germany and Italy.
