While Kyle Kuzma was on the court facing his former team on Wednesday night, a far more troubling situation was unfolding away from Fiserv Forum.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward’s residence in Bayside, Wisconsin, was reportedly burglarized during Milwaukee’s 123-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on November 11.
According to TMJ4 News, surveillance footage from a neighboring property captured four individuals running through a nearby backyard at approximately 8:55 p.m. local time. Police received a report of the burglary at around 1 a.m. Thursday morning.
JUST IN: Kyle Kuzma’s Milwaukee residence was broken into WHILE he was playing against the Lakers… insanity.

Authorities confirmed that personal belongings had been stolen and believe the residence was deliberately targeted. While police have withheld the victim’s identity out of respect for their privacy, TMJ4 identified Kuzma as the homeowner through public records and conversations with neighbors.
The value of the stolen possessions remains unknown, and no arrests had been reported as of Friday. The Milwaukee Bucks declined to comment, while neither Kuzma nor his representatives had publicly addressed the incident.
Disturbingly, this is not the first time a Milwaukee player has experienced such a violation. In November 2024, Bobby Portis’ home was burglarized while the Bucks were playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. Among the stolen possessions was his 2021 NBA championship ring. Federal prosecutors later connected that burglary to an alleged nationwide criminal operation targeting professional athletes.
Luka Doncic, Mike Conley, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have also fallen victim to residential burglaries in recent years, prompting both the NBA and the FBI to issue security advisories.
While authorities have not established a connection between Kuzma’s case and those previous incidents, the latest burglary highlights an unsettling reality of professional sports: the same public visibility that makes athletes superstars can also leave their private lives exposed.
