A deeply unsettling video shared online has reignited concern about the wellbeing of former Duke basketball star and NBA forward Kyle Singler.
Now 37, Singler appeared visibly distressed in the self-recorded clip, where he spoke openly about feeling unsafe, being without a home, and believing his child is being harmed.
The emotional post has quickly drawn attention and worry from fans, former teammates, and figures across the basketball world.
Singler Speaks Out About Fear, Isolation, and Alleged Abuse
In the video, filmed by Singler himself, the Medford, Oregon native said he no longer feels protected and claimed that people close to him have taken advantage of him financially.
He alleged that his child is being abused in multiple ways and criticized those he believes are aware of the situation but have failed to step in or help.
His words were raw, angry, and laced with frustration, reflecting a man who feels abandoned and pushed to the edge.
Singler also stated that he is currently homeless, saying he has been left to deal with his struggles alone while others “feed off” him.
Throughout the video, he portrayed his child as being used against him and insisted he was done staying silent about what he described as years of mistreatment.
A Pattern of Disturbing Social Media Posts
The video stands as the only post on Singler’s Instagram page, but it is not the first time he has shared troubling messages online.
Similar clips have surfaced on other platforms in the past, each prompting renewed concern about his mental and emotional health.
His appearance and erratic delivery in these videos have repeatedly alarmed those who followed his basketball career.
Past Arrest Adds to Growing Concern
The latest video arrives months after Singler was arrested in Whitehead, Oklahoma, following an alleged altercation with his girlfriend.
According to reports at the time, the woman told police that Singler, whom she described as her live-in boyfriend, was attempting to take their child.
Officers reportedly believed Singler was under the influence of drugs during the incident.
The woman alleged that after she refused his sexual advances, he threatened and assaulted her.
Police noted visible injuries, and Singler was taken to the Haskell County Jail.
That incident, combined with his recent statements, has intensified fears about his personal circumstances.
Basketball Community Responds With Worry and Support
News of Singler’s latest video has sent shockwaves through the basketball community.
Veteran broadcaster Dick Vitale, who covered Singler during his standout years at Duke, expressed heartbreak over the situation and publicly called for him to receive help.
Former NBA player Evan Turner also weighed in, urging Singler to contact the National Basketball Players Association, emphasizing that the union exists to support players through difficult times.
The NBPA has reportedly been in contact with Singler before, following another concerning video he posted in November 2024.
Previous Video Raised Similar Red Flags
That earlier clip showed a noticeably gaunt, shirtless Singler walking alone in an empty room while delivering a rambling monologue about gratitude, intuition, and staying true to oneself.
As with the most recent video, his appearance and words triggered widespread unease.
At the time, several current and former players rallied around him publicly.
Kevin Love shared a heartfelt message, encouraging everyone who has been impacted by Singler to surround him with love and support.
Andre Drummond, who once played alongside him in Detroit, also reassured Singler that he was not alone.
From Celebrated Prospect to NBA Veteran
Long before these troubling moments, Kyle Singler was one of the most highly regarded high school recruits in the country.
He signed with Duke University in 2006 and went on to become a key figure in the Blue Devils’ 2010 national championship run, earning Most Outstanding Player honors at the Final Four.
He entered the NBA in 2011 after being selected 33rd overall by the Detroit Pistons.
His career included early stints in Spain, several seasons in Detroit, and later years with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Singler continued playing professionally until 2019, when he stepped away from basketball citing personal reasons.
A Career That Once Inspired Many
Over the course of 356 NBA games, Singler averaged 6.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest.
While his professional career had its ups and downs, he remained a respected figure among teammates and coaches, making the current situation all the more painful for those who once shared locker rooms and victories with him.
A Moment That Demands Care, Not Judgment
Singler’s latest video has once again highlighted the fragile line between public success and private struggle.
As concern continues to spread, many within the basketball world are emphasizing compassion, intervention, and access to proper support rather than speculation or condemnation.
