The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their impressive start to the season, securing a perfect 6-0 record. Following their recent comeback victory against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday and a dominant 127-108 win over the Washington Wizards on Thursday, the Thunder have looked unstoppable on the court.
Much of the team’s success can be attributed to star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been putting on masterclasses game after game. However, while Shai shines on the court, a concerning situation unfolded off the court that has captured local attention.
According to a local broadcast from the Oklahoma City area, Gilgeous-Alexander’s home in Nichols Hills was reportedly broken into on the same night he and the Thunder were hosting the Wizards. The broadcast reported:
> “And we are following breaking news out of the northwest part of the metro. A heavy police presence in a Nichols Hills neighborhood. Initial reports indicate this is a home break-in. It is believed to be the home of OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA, as we all know, wrapped up a game at the Paycom Center tonight.”
The situation appeared serious, with the Oklahoma City police helicopter overhead, a police canine on the scene, and several officers entering and exiting the home throughout the night. A vehicle from the Nichols Hills Police Department was also present, as the investigation was ongoing.
Thunder General Manager Sam Presti was reported to be “at the scene” to oversee the situation. According to further reporting, multiple police officers conducted a thorough search of the property for several hours. News crews in attendance also confirmed Presti’s presence at the location. At this time, it remains unclear whether any arrests have been made.
While the Thunder prepare to defend last season’s championship title, the safety and well-being of Gilgeous-Alexander and his family remain the top priority for the team.
As the investigation continues, Oklahoma City looks to keep their winning streak alive when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday afternoon. Fans and teammates alike hope for a swift resolution to the break-in incident so the team can refocus fully on their pursuit of another championship.
