The 2018 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė, also known as SIL – Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė for sponsorship purposes, was the third edition of the Lithuanian King Mindaugas Cup. On 7 December 2017 it was announced that Klaipėda would host the tournament.
Žalgiris was the defending champions. Žalgiris successfully defended its title after beating BC Lietuvos rytas in the Final.




Format changes


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. LKL Cheerleaders Battles final was added to complement the event alongside traditional Three-point and Slam Dunk contests.




Draw


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




Qualified teams


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