Thunder Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Addresses Home Break-In

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has spoken publicly about a break-in at his home. The incident occurred on Thursday, coinciding with the Thunder's game against the Washington Wizards.

Gilgeous-Alexander addressed the situation following the Thunder's dominant 137-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, a game in which he scored 30 points. He emphasized the safety of his loved ones as the primary concern. "Long story short: everybody's safe. And that's all that really matters in the whole thing," he stated. "Everything else can come and go, but my loved ones are safe. So, I'm OK. I'm happy."

The Thunder's win against the Pelicans marked their seventh consecutive victory, mirroring their strong start from the previous season. Gilgeous-Alexander highlighted the team's growth, particularly in light of injuries to key players Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. He attributed the team's success to improved cohesion and the ability to adapt to changes in the lineup. "It feels like we're a better team," he said. "We've had a year to get better, learn each other on and off the court, and it feels like we've had a head start in that this season."

The Thunder are now poised to begin a four-game road trip, starting with a game against the Clippers on Tuesday. They have the opportunity to achieve an 8-0 start, which would mark a new franchise record.

BNN's Perspective:

While the break-in is undoubtedly a concerning event, it's heartening to see Gilgeous-Alexander prioritize the well-being of his family. His focus on the team's performance and growth, even amidst personal challenges, speaks to his professionalism and leadership. The Thunder's impressive start to the season, despite injuries, is a testament to their improved team dynamics and coaching. We hope for a swift resolution to the investigation and continued success for the Thunder on the court.
