Former Duke star and NBA player Kyle Singler is drawing major concern over released videos on his social media.
In a post made Tuesday morning, the 36-year-old said that he fears for his life “every day.”
” Every day, s–t is being thrown my way,” he said. “I have been mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example. And I fear for my life every day. And people in my community make me look out as if I’m going to be someone that’s going to be a problem and make things difficult for people when I’m only trying to be helpful.”
“I feel like I have a certain way about myself and strength and purpose that does not get valued or get treated properly.”
During his Junior year with the Blue Devils, Kyle Singler was an important contributor to the team’s national title win and was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Kevin Love Reaches Out To Kyle Singler
Kyle Singler has everyone worried about him.
The former NBA forward posted a concerning video to his Instagram account, speaking about an apparent mental health battle.
One of the more vocal voices of mental health has been Miami Heat forward and former NBA champion Kevin Love.
Love commented on the video, “I love you, Kyle. Hit me whenever. Please.“
Love then took to his own account on X to send Kyle Singler another message.
“To everyone who has spent time with Kyle Singler and whose lives he has touched – please shower him with the love and support he needs+deserves,” wrote Love. “I would not be who I am today without him. I am forever indebted and love him. To the NBA family, Duke BB family, & South Medford community – let’s show up for one of our own.”
Love and Singler have a history. They have known each other since they were teens, and the two faced off frequently in high school.
We can only hope and pray that Singler gets the help that he needs.
