Police Investigate Burglary at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Home

Nichols Hills Break-In Occurs During Thunder Game

While Thunder fans filled the Paycom Center last night, police officers responded to a reported burglary in Nichols Hills at the home believed to belong to NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

According to police, the break-in happened while the Oklahoma City Thunder were playing. No one was home at the time, and no injuries were reported.

Police Respond Quickly with Air and Ground Units

Responding officers surrounded the home, securing the neighborhood as a police helicopter circled overhead. Witnesses said multiple OKC police vehicles were stationed nearby for several hours.

A Nichols Hills spokesperson said officers conducted a full search of the property, documenting evidence and checking for forced entry. Although police have not released additional details, neighbors reported a large law enforcement presence well into the night.

High-Profile Target Raises Security Concerns

The incident sparked conversation about celebrity home security, particularly for high-profile athletes whose schedules are widely known. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s star guard and reigning NBA MVP, is a cornerstone of Oklahoma City sports and one of the most recognizable figures in the state.

Residents expressed concern that the burglars may have known the home was empty during game time. “It’s scary,” said one neighbor. “Everyone knows when the Thunder play. Whoever did this planned it.”

Investigation Continues as Police Seek Leads

Police have not confirmed whether any property was stolen or if they have identified suspects. The Nichols Hills Police Department said they are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing nearby residents.

Investigators encouraged anyone with information to contact local authorities. For now, the community remains shaken — and grateful no one was home during the break-in.
