Oftentimes, fans seem to think that NBA stars live abnormal lives, but at the end of the day, these talented athletes face real-world challenges just like we do.
The players in the league may live luxurious lives, but at the end of the day, money can’t stop every bad situation from happening. Unfortunately, this long-time star found that out the hard way over the weekend.
“While Timberwolves guard Mike Conley was in Minneapolis for Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings home game, where he fired up the crowd before kickoff, his west-metro home was targeted by burglars,” Paul Walsh of The Minnesota Star Tribune shared on Wednesday.
“The break-in at Conley’s sprawling residence in Medina occurred mid-afternoon and was the second of three carried out that day by at least two suspects while the homes were unoccupied, said Police Chief Jason Nelson.”
Conley was in attendance for the Vikings home opener over the weekend, and while the NFL team came out with a win, the Timberwolves guard returned home to lost jewels.
While the situation is unfortunate, it could have been much worse. Nobody was harmed during the robbery and the police are actively searching for the suspects in hopes to retrieve the 36-year-old’s belongings.
That said, Conley will have plenty of time to get his mind off the incident with training camp set to begin shortly. With the Timberwolves hoping to make it one step closer to a championship this season, they’ll need their seasoned veteran locked in from the jump.
