The 2017 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė, also known as KIDY Tour – Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė for sponsorship purposes,[1] was the second edition of the Lithuanian King Mindaugas Cup. On 18 February 2016 it was announced that Kaunas would host the tournament.[2]
Lietuvos rytas were the defending champion, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Juventus.[3]
Žalgiris won their first title, beating Lietkabelis 84–63 in the final.[4] Juventus won bronze medals, defeating Vytautas.[5] Žalgiris forward Edgaras Ulanovas was awarded as MVP of the tournament.[6]
Tournament format was slightly changed before 2017. Quarterfinals were separated from final matches and played in home team arenas. Due to these changes tournament length was extended from 3 to 6 days.[7]
Eight highest ranked teams after the first half of the 2016–17 LKL regular season qualified to the tournament.[8]
The draw of the 2017 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė was held on 9 January 2017 at 14:00 EET in Town Hall of Kaunas.[9] The seeded teams were paired with the non-seeded teams for the quarterfinals. The location of these matches was determined by the luck of the draw.
