The 38-year-old former NBA player made several claims about his home, money, safety and people around him in the videos posted Tuesday, August 25. His latest posts have brought back concerns that began in 2024, when another series of videos led the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) to contact his family. Former Duke basketball star Kyle Singler has raised fresh concern after posting three troubling videos on social media and asking his former coach Mike Krzyzewski for help. Fans are again asking people close to Singler to make sure he is safe.
Singler also said he felt trapped inside his Oklahoma home.
What did Kyle Singler say about Coach K?
Singler helped Duke win the 2010 national championship and was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player. He was selected 33rd overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, played for the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder, later played in Spain and retired in 2019. The NBPA then confirmed to The Associated Press that it had contacted Singler’s family.
Singler directly addressed Mike Krzyzewski, his former Duke coach, in the first video. 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. “Coach, you got a former player being mistreated and abused and you ain’t doing nothing, man. Help out. These are Singler’s claims, and there is no independent evidence presented in the reports confirming them. The new posts are not the first time Singler has caused concern about his well-being. She added that the union offers support to current and former players during difficult times.
He claimed Krzyzewski had ignored his messages and said, “Coach K has set me up. In another video, Singler said, “My life’s on the line,” before asking his former coach to step in. He also said, “I feel imprisoned,” while claiming that people were watching his residence, freezing his accounts and “trying to kill me. In November 2024, he said he was “mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example” and added, “I fear for my life every day. Sarah Houseknecht, an NBPA spokeswoman, said, “We are in contact with Kyle’s family.
That earlier episode also brought public support from NBA players including Kevin Love, Isaiah Thomas and Andre Drummond.
