Oklahoma City (ONPOINT) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s standout player, shared on Sunday that he and his family are safe following a burglary at their Oklahoma City-area home during a recent Thunder game. Long story short, everybody’s safe, and that’s all that really matters in the whole thing, Gilgeous-Alexander remarked after the Thunder triumphed over the New Orleans Pelicans. Everything else will come and go, but my loved ones are safe, so I’m okay. I’m happy.
Police responded to the burglary call around 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, coinciding with the Thunder's home game against the Washington Wizards. No suspects were arrested, and authorities indicated that the culprits fled before police arrived. They also noted there was no indication of public danger.
This incident adds to a troubling trend of burglaries at the homes of prominent athletes across the United States, reportedly due to the presence of high-value items. Other victims include NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow, and NBA player Luka Doncic, indicating an alarming pattern of targeting high-profile sports figures, especially on game days.
Law enforcement has alerted sports leagues to the phenomenon, frequently occurring when athletes are away from home during competitions, enhancing panic among players and their families as they navigate their off-court lives.
