In a videoposted on his InstagramandXaccounts, the Milwaukee Bucks forward shared that his River Hills, Wisconsin home was robbed on Saturday, Nov. 2, while the athlete was “at work” playing a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he’s offering a $40,000 cash reward for any information or tips that lead to the return of his items.

“Over the last four-and-a-half seasons, I’ve considered Milwaukee as a home,” Portis, 29, began in the video. “I’ve grown here, I come here a boy and elevated into a man.”

The NBA journeyman continued, “The love you guys have given me here isn’t something I’ve ever felt before in my NBA career.”

Yet despite trying to give back and make Milwaukee “a better place,” he said he has become the victim of a crime.

“While I was at the game yesterday, we had a home invasion and they took most of my prized possessions,” Portis said.

In a separate clip, the athlete posted surveillance footage showing the crime in progress, in which two men can be seen standing outside his home. At least one of the intruders’ voices can be heard on the video.

In a separate but possibly related crime one state away, Minnesota Timberwolves star Mike Conley’s Medina, Minn. home was burglarized in September,according toThe Minnesota Star Tribune.

The broad-daylight crime occurred while Conley was a special guest and sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Jewelry was stolen in the home invasion, in which at least two suspects accessed the home from the rear and broke lower-level windows, theStar Tribunereported.

Two other robberies were carried out that day in the same neighborhood, Medina Police chief Jason Nelson confirmed to the newspaper.

The burglary at Portis’ and Conley’s homes come amid the news that NFL starsPatrick Mahomes’ andTravis Kelce’s residences in Missouri and Kansas were targeted within a 48-hour period in early October, PEOPLE previously confirmed.

Police with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the home at 12:08 a.m. on a burglary/breaking and entering call. There were no signs of forced entry to the home, according to the police report.

Mahomes spoke out about the crime last week during media availability, saying the burglary, which is the subject of an ongoing investigation, was “frustrating” and “disappointing.”

In a statement to PEOPLE last week, an FBI spokesperson would not confirm or deny that the agency is investigating the crimes. A Medina Police representativetold NBC Newsthat an “investigator is working with" “agencies and other state and federal partners” to determine if the crimes across state lines are related.
