Kyle Kuzma’s Milwaukee Home Burglarized During Bucks-Lakers Game

There was no sign of forced entry. The police are investigating the matter and believe the home was targeted.

Kuzma is the second player to be a victim of burglary while playing for the Bucks in recent years, after Bobby Portis suffered the same fate back in November 2024. Like his former teammate, Portis was playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers when his River Hills home was broken into. Team schedules are available to one and all, so everyone knows when a player isn’t home, creating an opening for burglars.

Portis, who was traded to the Miami Heat this past offseason, lost most of his prized possessions, including his 2021 championship ring with the Bucks. He offered a reward for any information leading to recovery or arrests, but he hasn’t yet spoken about getting anything back.

A couple of months before this Portis incident, Mike Conley’s mansion in Minnesota was burglarized in September. Then, a few months later in December, Luka Doncic’s Dallas home was burglarized.

The FBI then warned sports leagues of crime organizations targeting professional athletes. Members of a Chilean gang were eventually charged in connection with the thefts in February 2025.

It’s unclear whether there is any connection between the previous incidents and this one involving Kuzma. As for a potential solution to this risk athletes face when they’re playing games, Utah Jazz guard Josh Okogie spoke about one. Okogie revealed that his friends live with him and they not only give him company but also act as security. If you’re not married, this might be the way to go.

Getting back to Kuzma, this incident took place during what has already been a difficult start to the season for him. He is averaging just 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game in 2026-27 on a Bucks team that dropped to 1-11 after losing to the Lakers.
