Police on Friday were investigating a burglary at a home reported to belong to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander that happened while the NBA's reigning MVP was playing a game the night before.
The Thunder referred questions to police in Nichols Hills, an enclave north of downtown Oklahoma City. Police would not confirm who lived in the house or say what might have been taken from it.

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has slipped even among those who supported him in the 2024 presidential election, a new poll found.
A new survey from the YouGov/Economist shows 84 percent of Trump supporters approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president compared to just 14 percent who disapprove, leaving him with a +70 approval rating among those who voted for him in the 2024 presidential election.
That figure slipped four points from August, when he boasted a +74 approval rating among his supporters.
Taking into account all respondents, 39 percent approved of the way Trump’s doing his job compared to 57 percent who disapprove. The poll was conducted between October 31 and November 3 as the government shutdown dragged into its second month. It has now broken the record for the longest in U.S. history; the second-longest occurred during Trump’s first term, spanning 35 days.
