JaVale McGee Reportedly Has Warriors NBA Finals Ring Stolen From Los Angeles Home
By Chris Pyo
JaVale McGee already has enough on his plate to worry about regarding this upcoming NBA season. Now, he has another immense headache to deal with -- and this time it involves a serious crime and an invasion of his personal life.
It's been reported that the Lakers center had over $200,000 in cash and jewelry stolen from his home in Los Angeles, Calif. along with one of his coveted NBA championship rings from his time with the Golden State Warriors.

TMZ reports that McGee's valuables were in two safes which were taken from the property. Inside the safes were the NBA Finals ring, goggles from the Warriors' locker room celebration, as well as cash and jewelry. It's unclear if the ring is from the 2017 or 2018 championship.
Arrests have yet to be made and the LAPD have not named any suspects in the investigation, though McGee's home does have security footage which is being reviewed by authorities.

McGee will be playing a significant role for the Lakers off the bench this upcoming season in the aftermath of Demarcus Cousins' season-ending ACL injury. Hopefully this won't distract him too much from getting ready for the start of the season.
