Milwaukee forward Bobby Portis said his home was burglarized on Saturday night while he was playing in the Bucks’ 114-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Portis shared a video on social media that appeared to show two men outside of his home on a security camera. The alleged suspects could be seen breaking glass on the front door to the home.

While Portis didn’t get into specifics — and the alleged suspects weren’t seen entering his home on the video — he said that “many of my prized possessions were stolen.”

“While I was at my game yesterday, I had a home invasion and they took most of my prized possessions … Any info that leads to the return of any of my belongings will be rewarded handsomely,” he said, in part.

It’s unclear what was stolen specifically. Portis believes he was targeted, and he has filed a police report, according to ESPN’s Jamal Collier.

Portis is in his fifth season with the Bucks this fall. He’s averaged 11 points and 5.7 rebounds in six games this season, and he had 10 points and eight rebounds in Saturday’s loss. The 29-year-old, whom the Chicago Bulls first selected with the No. 22 overall pick in 2015 out of Arkansas, is in the third year of a four-year, $48.5 million deal with the Bucks.

Milwaukee dropped to 1-5 on the season after Saturday's loss at Fiserv Forum. After winning their season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Bucks have now lost five straight. They face the Cavaliers again on Monday in Cleveland.
