Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Nichols Hills Home Burglarized

Police are investigating a burglary at Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Nichols Hills home that occurred Thursday night while he was playing in the game; officers responded around 7:45 p.m., found the suspects had fled, no one was home, and no arrests have been made. The break-in happened during Gilgeous-Alexander’s 31-point performance in a 127–108 Thunder win. Oklahoma City police assisted Nichols Hills officers, including deploying a helicopter, and Thunder GM Sam Presti was seen at the scene; team inquiries were directed to Nichols Hills Police. Local property records list the home's value at nearly $4 million, and authorities have not yet said whether anything was taken or how suspects entered. Officials say there is no indication of a broader public threat but patrols will be increased in the neighborhood through Halloween and beyond while the investigation remains active. Authorities note the incident fits a pattern of organized, game-day burglaries targeting professional athletes, with 2024–25 investigations linking some thefts to international rings and resulting in federal charges; anyone with information is asked to contact Nichols Hills Police.
