Gilgeous-Alexander is believed to live at the property in Nichols Hills worth almost $4 million.

According to CNN, there is a trend of burglaries at professional athletes’ homes while they are playing games.
The NFL, NBA and NHL informed teams in November 2024 that organized and skilled groups were targeting the homes of athletes, due to the perception they may have high-end goods and cash.
“The FBI reported that, in most of the incidents, the homes were equipped with alarm systems that were not activated,” the NBA memo obtained by CNN said. “The FBI also reported that the homes were all unoccupied and, in most cases, no dogs were present.”
Several high-profile home burglaries involving sporting stars have been reported in recent years, including the homes of NBA star Luca Doncic and NFL stars Joe Burrow and Travis Kelce.
