Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic was the victim of a home burglary that occurred on Friday night, continuing a string of break-ins at notable athletes’ houses.
The Dallas Morning News reported that about $30,000 worth of jewelry was taken.
“No one was home at the time, and thankfully Luka and his family are safe,” Doncic’s business manager Lara Beth Seager told ESPN and The Stein Line. “Luka has filed a police report, and an investigation is ongoing.”
It’s been a rough week for Doncic, who is expected to miss at least one month after straining his left calf during a 105-99 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Dallas is 7-2 in games that Doncic has missed this season.
Athletes have been targets of burglaries as of late, as Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow, Minnesota Timberwolves veteran guard Mike Conley and Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis have all had their homes broken into since the start of September.
Both the NFL and NBA have told players to be on the lookout while stressing the importance of added security to their residences.
Doncic, 25, has averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 22 games (all starts) this season.
