This latest round of posts represents at least the third instance since 2024 of Singler issuing troubling public messages about alleged mistreatment, signaling what outlets describe as an ongoing pattern or concern regarding his wellbeing.
Former Duke basketball star Kyle Singler posted a series of alarming Instagram videos alleging that Coach Mike Krzyzewski and others have abandoned him during a personal crisis. Total Pro Sports reports that Singler claims he has no power, no housing, and fears for his safety, stating his life and finances are being compromised. Singler, who helped Duke win the 2010 national championship and was named Final Four MVP, says Coach K dismissed his pleas for help.
The videos mark at least the third troubling public statement Singler has made since 2024 about alleged mistreatment and personal crisis. Edmonton Sun notes that Singler appears to be in significant distress, raising renewed concerns about his wellbeing. In 2024, notable NBA players including Kevin Love and Andre Drummond publicly expressed support for Singler after he posted about fearing for his life.
From NCAA Champion to Ongoing Legal Troubles
Singler's life has shifted dramatically since his Duke glory days. Shoreline Beacon reports that the 33rd overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft played for the Detroit Pistons from 2012 to 2015 and the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2015 to 2018. He finished his professional career in 2019 with CB Canarias in Spain. In early 2025, Singler was arrested in Whitefield, Oklahoma, on a misdemeanor assault and battery charge allegedly involving his girlfriend and a child.
Singler Claims Assets Are Frozen and Home Invaded
In the Instagram videos, Singler alleges that his assets are frozen and that people are actively harming him. Edmonton Journal reports that he claims his former coach set him up and defrauded him. Singler describes feeling trapped—without power or housing—and says others are breaking into his home and threatening him. He accuses Coach K of deflecting responsibility and leaving people in difficult situations.
Public Support Grows Amid Pattern of Concerning Posts
Singler's latest videos continue a troubling pattern that started in 2024. Vancouver Sun notes that after his 2024 posts about fearing for his life, several prominent NBA players publicly expressed concern for him. Kevin Love, Isaiah Thomas, and Andre Drummond all voiced support. The latest round of allegations suggests Singler remains in crisis, though Duke and Coach K have not publicly responded to his claims.
