Mike Conley’s Home Burglarized During Vikings Game

Mike Conley’s Sunday took a wild turn after he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game and returned home to find his house had been burglarized.

Sounding the Gjallarhorn: Conley’s Big Day at the Vikings Game

So, Mike Conley was living it up at the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday. The Timberwolves guard, who’s about to hit 37, got the honor of sounding the Gjallarhorn at U.S. Bank Stadium. And guess what? The Vikings pulled off a sweet upset, beating the 49ers 23-17. Talk about a perfect day, right? Well, not quite.

Home Sweet… Oh No, What Happened Here?

Imagine coming back from an epic game only to find your house has been ransacked. That’s exactly what happened to Conley. He walked into his Medina home to see smashed back windows and realized he’d been robbed. According to Paul Walsh from the Minnesota Star Tribune, this wasn’t just a one-off incident. It was the second of three burglaries that day, all carried out by at least two suspects. They made off with jewelry from the master bedrooms. Police Chief Jason Nelson mentioned that all homes were empty during the break-ins.

Was Conley Being Watched?

Here’s where it gets even sketchier. The burglars seemed to have done their homework. They approached from the back, broke in through lower-level windows, and hit the master bedrooms for the jewels. In and out in five minutes, like they were pros. Nelson suggested these guys might’ve been watching the homes or figured out the homeowners’ routines. So, Conley wasn’t specifically targeted; he just got caught up in a string of high-end burglaries.

I think it’s crazy how these criminals can be so brazen. I mean, who has the guts to pull this off in broad daylight?

Back to Basketball: Training Camp and the Upcoming Season

Despite the drama, Conley’s got to keep his head in the game. He’s training in Minnesota as the Timberwolves gear up for their training camp starting Oct. 1. The season opener against the Lakers on Oct. 22 is just around the corner. And yeah, the Timberwolves haven’t said a word about the burglary. Typical.

Speaking of trades, did you catch that wild Curry rumor? Anyway, back to Conley.

So, what do you think? Will this burglary mess with Conley’s focus, or will he come out even stronger this season? Let’s hear your thoughts!
