The 2018 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė, also known as SIL – Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė for sponsorship purposes,[1] was the third edition of the Lithuanian King Mindaugas Cup. On 7 December 2017 it was announced that Klaipėda would host the tournament.[2]

Žalgiris was the defending champions. Žalgiris successfully defended its title after beating BC Lietuvos rytas in the Final.

Format changes[edit]

After a lot of criticism during last year's tournament Lithuanian Basketball League changed distribution of quarterfinals games venues, awarding them directly to seeded teams instead of previously held open draw.[2] LKL Cheerleaders Battles final was added to complement the event alongside traditional Three-point and Slam Dunk contests.[1]

Draw[edit]

The draw of the 2018 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė will be held on 16 January 2018.[1]

Qualified teams[edit]

Eight highest ranked teams after the first half of the 2017–18 LKL regular season will qualify to the tournament.[2]
