Kyle Singler, a former Duke basketball star and NBA player, has been going through a rough patch in his life. He has experienced a series of deeply concerning personal, legal, and mental health challenges in recent years.
In 2024, the basketball community was highly alarmed when Singler posted a series of cryptic videos . In these videos, he appeared shirtless and spoke with uncharacteristically slow, slurred speech. Singler explicitly stated that he "feared for his life every day."
Furthermore, he claimed that he had been mistreated, abused, neglected, and turned into a "mental example" by those around him.
Prominent NBA players like Kevin Love, Isaiah Thomas, and Andre Drummond publicly reached out to offer immediate support. He also had a desperate plea months ago . It clearly has not helped.

The basketball community is expressing immense concern following a series of highly distressing videos from Kyle Singler. The former Duke University standout and NBA forward shared multiple cryptic videos yet again this week.
In the unsettling footage, he repeatedly stated that he needed urgent assistance while speaking in a concerning manner. Singler, who played for Krzyzewski from 2007-11 and won a national championship together, claimed his former coach "dismissed" him while also begging for help.
"Man, Coach K has set me up," Singler said in the first video, captioned "Where u &," while pacing inside a residence.
"Set me up, man. I have no power. I have no house. I've reached out to coach and everybody has turned the other way. I've reached out to coach and he has fully dismissed the message. You guys are cutting my power off, breaking into my house, stealing money, ruining my life. I reached out to Coach K, and all he did was sit me on the bench. Thanks, man.
"Is that what we're doing at that school, sending people down, teaching them up? Cool beans, man. … Coach, where you at? Help a brother out. Thought we were on the same team, man."

In Kyle Singler's second video, captioned, "Now we talk'n," he questioned society before again pivoting back to the Hall of Famer coach. Once again, he stated people are "trying to kill me" and claimed he's the victim of crimes.
"I'm out in Oklahoma, I go out walking the street, I get pulled, I get arrested, I get f–king checked, I get kicked out of restaurants," Singler, who played parts of four seasons in Oklahoma City for the Thunder, said while again pacing.
"I can't even live anymore. Can't even say, 'Hey, how's it going?' without confrontation. I've reach out to coach, again everybody knows what's going on, I'm living in a whole other world. Coach, I need your help, man.
"I'm stuck at my house and I can't leave, I feel imprisoned. Where we at? Leaving people stranded. I've tried to share messages about where we're at and back home I got people, my friends, family, devastated and gone, died, and again my life's on the line. I got people breaking into my house, jacking money, breaking into my accounts. And you know what? Duke's all about it. I got Duke begging for my money. Everybody's after my money, trying to kill me. What's going on? What's the deal? … Seems like people got a lot of anger and a lot of violence and a lot of retribution on their mind.
"Coach, you got a former player being mistreated and abused and you ain't doing nothing, man. Help out."
In the final video, captioned "What are we doi'n," Singler said all his accounts are frozen and claimed he's being watched.
"Well, coach, I need your help, I'm locked in my house and I have no freedom anymore," Singler said. "Everyone again is attacking me for green, so have at it well. If anyone can he helpful to understand where we're at and there are a lot of people attacking people for money, greed…
"Coach, man, I've reached out to you many times and shared with you where I'm at, and you've just been deflective. Leaving people in the dust. I don't respect it. You got a player that's been traded, baby."
Kyle Singler had a stellar four-year career at Duke University from 2007 to 2011, highlighted by a national championship.
We can only hope and pray that he gets help.
