The NBA world has shown concern for one of its former players, Kyle Singler, who posted a cryptic Instagram video saying he fears for his life.
Singler, who starred at Duke before playing six seasons in the NBA, was shirtless in the video he posted while talking slowly.
"I have been mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example," Singler said. "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 love you Kyle. Hit me whenever. Please," the Miami Heat’s Kevin Love said.

Isaiah Thomas added, "Here for you bro! Always and forever."
Love also posted to social media, imploring people to help Singler.
"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. I would not be who I am today without him.

Singler spent the next three full seasons there and hasn’t played in an NBA game since the 2017-18 season.
He played two seasons in Spain for two different clubs in Liga ACB.
