Dallas: So, it looks like Luka Dončić has joined the unfortunate list of athletes whose homes have been broken into. This is getting a bit too common, right?
The break-in happened on Friday night while Luka was away. His business manager, Lara Beth Seager, confirmed that no one was home, which is a relief. They filed a police report, and the investigation is underway.
But here’s the kicker: around $30,000 worth of jewelry was taken. The police found that someone broke a window in the master bathroom to get in. It all went down between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., even though private security was keeping an eye on the place.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks were busy winning against the Phoenix Suns that night. Luka wasn’t playing, though, since he’s nursing a calf injury. He’s expected to be out for at least a month, which is a bummer for fans.
Just last month, the NBA warned players to beef up their home security after other players, like Bobby Portis and Mike Conley Jr., also got hit. It seems like these burglaries are linked to some serious crime rings that are well-organized and use high-tech methods.
The FBI has been involved, saying these groups are after cash and items that can be flipped for a profit, like jewelry and luxury bags. It’s a wild situation, and it’s making everyone a bit more cautious.
