While NBA star Mike Conley was cheering on the Minnesota Vikings at their home game, thieves targeted his Minneapolis home, making off with an undisclosed amount of jewelry.
NBA star Mike Conley, fresh from participating in the Minnesota Vikings' pregame festivities, found himself at the center of an unfortunate incident as his suburban Minneapolis residence was targeted by thieves while he was away. According to police, Conley's home was one of three burglaries reported in the Medina area on Sunday afternoon.
Medina Police Chief Jason Nelson confirmed that Conley's property was broken into on September 15th. The burglars left each property with an undetermined amount of jewelry, suggesting a pattern of targeting valuable items. Surveillance footage captured an image of a car fleeing Conley's home, providing a potential lead for investigators.

Investigators believe that the suspects may have conducted surveillance or established patterns of the occupants before breaking into the homes, which were unoccupied at the time. They gained entry through ground-floor windows and focused on primary bedrooms, where they quickly snatched valuables. Each burglary lasted approximately five minutes.
Authorities suspect that at least two individuals were involved in the crimes, approaching the homes from the backside to minimize visibility. Conley's home is located several miles from U.S. Bank Stadium, where he had participated in the Vikings' traditional pregame festivities.

The incident occurred while Conley was cheering on the Vikings in their victory over the San Francisco 49ers, a performance that helped Minnesota improve to 2-0. Earlier this month, Conley threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Minnesota Twins' home ballpark, showcasing his strong ties to the Minneapolis sports community.
As of Thursday afternoon, no arrests had been made in connection with the burglaries. Authorities are actively investigating the case, seeking to identify the suspects and recover the stolen jewelry. The Vikings will host the Houston Texans on September 22nd, and it remains to be seen whether Conley's experience will affect his involvement in team activities.
