NBA players union in touch with Kyle Singler’s family after ex-Duke star’s troubling videos
The NBA Players Association is offering its support to Kyle Singler after the former NBA player posted some concerning content on social media this week.
Singler had a six-year career in the NBA after starring at Duke while in college, and his social media following became worried after he posted a message in which he said he he fears for his life “every day.”
In a statement to The Post, an NBPA spokesperson said that the union has been in touch with people close to Singler about the matter.
“We are in contact with Kyle’s family. As with all current and former members of the NBPA, we offer any and all support to players, whether through their biggest successes or times of challenge,” the statement said.
Singler’s first concerning post was came Tuesday morning in a video on Instagram.
”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.”
Singler posted two other videos on Tuesday that also sparked concern.
A number of the people around the NBA community expressed love for Singler after the videos started to spread.
“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,” five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love wrote on X.
“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.”
In a comment on Singler’s first video on Instagram, 76ers center Andre Drummond wrote, “You aren’t alone brother! I’m here for you.”
