Emotions run high in Boston Celtics’ loss to the Chicago Bulls as Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and their head coach Joe Mazzulla all got slapped with a technical foul.
Brown was still not over the technical foul even after the game but he has bigger concern than the loss.
The Celtics forward’s family was a victim of burglary on Monday as his mom’s house in Massachusetts was reportedly broke in by yet to be identified suspects.
“It did not appear anything had been disturbed inside the residence nor did it appear anything was taken, and there were no injuries,” the Boston Globe reported.
The family was safe but Brown, who recently lost money to an NBA fine, still can’t let the incident go as he is more agitated by the way the media covered the burglary incident.
“We’ve had media members and reporters outside our house trying to get the inside scoop. Like, have some respect. It’s been a tough week,” he said post game while talking about the incident.
Brown, who missed Tuesday practice because of it, also expressed relief that nothing serious happened although he admits that he still cannot take his mind off of it.
Thank God, nothing serious or physical or threatening happened — but the fact that it could have just kind of lingers in your mind.
Jaylen Brown’s might be a victim of a transnational crime syndicate
The burglars reportedly thought they were ransacking Jaylen Brown’s home.
That is one fact that many athletes like him should be wary off as according to recent investigations, these professional sports players in America are specifically being targeted by a transnational crime syndicate.
In the NBA, Bobby Portis of the Milwaukee Bucks and Mike Conley of the Minnesota Timberwolves were also victimized by robbers.
The National Football League released a memo last month urging their players to be more vigilant after a string up robbery incident in the homes of some of its players.
“The homes of professional athletes across multiple sports leagues have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups,” the memo read as reported by The Athletic.
“Law enforcement officials have noted these groups appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days.”
