Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee's house was burglarized over the weekend and he lost one of his championship rings he won with the Golden State Warriors, according to TMZ.
McGee won two rings with the Warriors. The Lakers big man found out his Los Angeles home was broken into on Tuesday, but the incident reportedly happened over the Labor Day weekend.
We're told the thieves stole TWO safes from the home which contained at least $200k in cash and jewelry — including one of the two rings McGee won during his stint with the Golden State Warriors. Unclear which ring was taken. McGee is also missing the celebratory goggles he used in the locker room for the champagne celebration after winning one of those titles.
JaVale McGee re-signed with the Lakers this summer on a two-year deal worth $8.2 million. He averaged 12.0 points and 7.5 rebounds last season for the Lakers while shooting 62.4 percent from the field.
McGee will be the starting center for Los Angeles in 2019-20. Dwight Howard will back him up.
It's amazing how many NBA players get burglarized. Just a few weeks ago, Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins' house in Los Angeles was broken into.
The good thing is McGee and Wiggins are safe, as they weren't at home when the robberies took place.
