According to NBC Los Angeles, two men were arrested over the weekend after allegedly taking Thiero's SUV without his consent. One of the suspects is the brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Deputies responded to a call at the One Hotel in West Hollywood after the stolen vehicle was tracked to the location, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told NBC4 Investigates.
Authorities determined that the suspects had valet-parked the SUV before entering the hotel.
After reviewing security footage, deputies identified the individuals and located them shortly afterward. Both suspects were arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner's consent.
The men were identified as 27-year-old Trey Rose and 27-year-old Samson Nacua, Puka Nacua's brother. Both remain in custody and face charges related to the alleged theft.
Thiero, 21, was selected by the Lakers with the 36th overall pick and has appeared in nine games this season, averaging 1.1 points in 5.8 minutes per game.
